Remove a Role in the VMware Host Client
When you remove a role that is not assigned to any users or groups, the denition is removed from the list
of roles. When you remove a role that is assigned to a user or group, you can remove assignments or replace
them with an assignment to another role.
C You must understand how users will be aected before removing all assignments or replacing
them. Users who have no permissions granted to them cannot log in.
Prerequisites
Verify that you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges, such as root or vpxuser.
Procedure
1 Click Manage in the VMware Host Client inventory and click Security & Users.
2 Click Roles.
3 Select the name of the role that you want to remove from the list.

Unable to Connect from the VMware Host Client to an ESXi Host after
Upgrading to ESXi 6.0 or Later
After you upgrade your host from ESXi 5.5 to ESXi 6.0 or later, your browser console might display an error
message when you aempt to access your ESXi host by using the VMware Host Client, and your connection
might fail.
Problem
After you upgrade your ESXi host from 5.5 to 6.0 or later, aempting to navigate to http://host-name/ui or
http://host-IP-address/ui might result in the following error:
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE:
0xffa014e8] _serverNamespace = /ui _isRedirect = false _port = 8308)
Cause
A change to /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf remains after an upgrade and causes the /ui endpoint
to override the VMware Host Client.
When the /ticket is missing from the endpoint.conf le on your 6.0 or later ESXi host, your in-browser
virtual machine console displays a Failed to connect error message but the VMware Remote Console
continues to work.
Solution
1 Log in to your ESXi host either by using SSH or ESXi Shell.
If you use SSH, you might need to enable SSH rst. You can enable SSH by using DCUI.
2 Back up the endpoints.conf le.
cp
/etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/endpoints.conf /tmp
