After logging into vCenter with the vSphere Client, the fields "Last Updated:" and "Last File-Based Backup:" are missing and only the fields "Version:" and "Build:" are visible on the Summary tab:
However, if logged in to the vSphere Client as [email protected] (or other account with correct permissions), the last time the vCenter Server was updated ("Last Updated") as well as the last time a file-based backup was taken in the VAMI ("Last File-Based Backup"): fields are displayed correctly:
vCenter Server 7.x
vCenter Server 8.x
The "Last Updated:" and "Last File-Based Backup:" fields are only shown when the user logged in in vSphere Client has access permissions to the information.
This access is not part of the vCenter administrator role or the global administrator role.
To gain access to be able to display this information, the user account needs to be a member of the "SystemConfiguration.Administrators" group in vCenter Single Sign-On.
