Creating a new local user from vCenter (with vSphere 5.1)

  • 772

I am trying to add a new local user from vCenter. I could not find how to do it.

I dont have the "Users & Groups" tab.

Important note, I do not want to join the vCenter to the domain. I really want to create a local user.

EDIT: I use vSphere 5.1

  1. You must connect with SSO administrator login to see the Users and Groups, default is [email protected]

  2. In the Web Client

    1. Browse to Administration > Access > SSO Users and Groups in the vSphere Web Client.
    2. On the Users tab, click the New User icon.(The green + sign)
    3. Type a user name and password for the new user. You cannot change the user name after you create a user. The password must meet the password policy requirements for the system.
    4. (Optional) Type the first name and last name of the new user.
    5. Type the email address for the new user.
    6. Select the type of permissions the user is granted. User roles are incremental. More powerful roles are supersets of weaker roles.
