Hi!

I am trying to use this: community.vmware.vmware\_guest\_sendkey  
Unfortunately I cannot find which permissions I need in vcenter. console interation is already added, so that one isn’t it ☹

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!

Looking at [Virtual Machine Interaction Privileges](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-3D47149A-947D-4608-88B3-E5811129EFA8.html) maybe `Virtual machine.Interaction.Inject USB HID scan codes`? I think this is what the modules does.

I’m not sure, this is just an (educated) guess. Might be worth a try.
