Data Center Groups Section not available from the tenant Portal under a sub provider in VMware Cloud Director

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• Data Center Groups section is missing from the Networking tab of VCD Tenant Portal when logged in as an Organization Administrator.
• This issue is specifically observed when the tenant is part of a sub-provider configuration.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Cause

The issue arises when the 'VDC Group' rights are not enabled in the rights bundle assigned to the tenant.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. From the Provider Portal:

   • For Right bundle:

     • Ensure the 'VDC Group' right is enabled in the default rights bundle.

     • If not already enabled, modify the rights bundle to include the 'VDC Group' right. Reference: Edit a right bundle

     • Re-publish the updated rights bundle to the affected tenant. Reference: Publish right bundle

   • For Global Roles:

     • Verify that the 'VDC Group' right is also enabled in the 'Organization Administrator' global role.

     • If missing, enable 'VDC Group' right and publish the updated 'Organization Administrator' global role to the tenant. Reference: Publish a global role

2. From the Sub-provider Portal:

   • Log in to the sub-provider tenant portal using system administrator.

   • Confirm that the 'VDC Group' right is enabled in the default rights bundle within the sub-provider portal.

   • If not, update the rights bundle to include this permission.

Note: Make sure all the right under VDC group is enabled (View VDC group, Edit Security Tag, Configure VDC group, Configure VDC Group Logging).

Once all the above configurations are in place, the Data Center Groups section should be accessible from the tenant portal for users with the appropriate roles and rights.
