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.
