Products

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.
