Issue/Introduction
Unable to view assign option under VM Tags in vcenter 8.0U2b
Able to assign/remove tag from the UI at the VM Actions level without having Global Permission set
Expected :
Environment
VMware vCenter Server 7.0.x
VMware vCenter Server 8.0.2.x
Cause
UI is calling data/properties/urn:vri:acl:RootPermissionNode:root?properties=grantedPrivileges API to get the privileges which does not seems to be working in case of AD users.
Tags-related API call made by the UI to retrieve privileges, which does not function correctly for AD users
Resolution
Fixed in vCenter 8.0U3, the recommendation is to patch vCenter to version 8.0U3, where this behavior is not present.
