root Administrator
+root * Poweruser
* * User
• Do not change the omarolemap le permissions or le format.
• Do not use the loop back address for <Host_Name>, for example: localhost or 127.0.0.1.
• After the connection services are restarted and the changes do not take eect for the omarolemap le, see the command log for the
errors.
• When the omarolemap le is copied from one machine to another machine, le permissions and the entries of the le needs to be
rechecked.
• Prex the Group Name with +.
• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges, if:
– a user is degraded in the omarolemap le
– there are duplicate entries of user names or user groups along with same <Host_Name>
• You can also use Space as a delimiter for columns instead of [Tab].
Creating Server Administrator Users For VMware ESXi 6. X
To add a user to the Users table:
1 Log in to the host using the vSphere Client.
2 Click the Users & Groups tab and click Users.
3 Right-click anywhere in the Users table and click Add to open the Add New User dialog box.
4 Enter login, user name, a numeric user ID (UID), and password; specifying that the user name and UID are optional. If you do not
specify the UID, the vSphere Client assigns the next available UID.

only through the vSphere Client do not need shell access.
