VC permissions / roles conflict

Hi there,

 

I wan't something very easy but I can't get it done.

 

I've ESX3.5 with VC2.5.

In VC there is a datacenter with several subfolders.

 

Want I want is the following:

- user authentication based on MS AD server (got that part working)

- users in group A can see folder A but not folder B

- users in group A and B can see both folders.

 

I've made the folders in VC but now the hard part...

- Group A is VM admin on folder A. This is working. Users can do anything in folder A and can't see folder B.

- When creating a VM the user isn't able to select a esx cluster cause of a limitations of rights. I can imagine that, because the user is VM admin on Folder A and not on the datacenter.

- So, I've created a new role "create_vm", with only the rights to create a VM. Every group has this right now on the datacenter.

- The problem is, users can see now not only their on folder, but al of the folders in VC. (because of the create_vm role)

 

Simple fix:

Group A and Group B, create_vm role on datacenter

Group A VM admin role on Folder A

Group B vm admin role on Folder B

Group A no access role on Folder B

Group B no acces role on Folder A

 

But the problem now is that I've got users that need to be member of Group A and B.

But then they can't see anything (because of the no access).

 

Can someone give a bit of help with this?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kind regards.
