Describe the bug
When attempting to generate an as-built against a VMware on Cloud solution, such as VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC), Azure VMware Solution or Google VMware Engine, errors are generated or the report fails to generate.
This issue is due to restricted user permissions assigned to the default cloud administrator role [cloudadmin (VMC, AVS), cloudowner (GVE)] within these VMware on Cloud solutions.
To Reproduce
Running a VMware vSphere as built report against a VMware on Cloud solution using the default admin role will cause errors due to restricted user privileges.
These errors have been observed when;
vCenter InfoLevel is 3 or higher
Host InfoLevel is 3 or higher
Cluster InfoLevel is 4 or higher
Workarounds
Implement the following to produce an as-built for a VMware on Cloud environment.
Within the VMware vSphere report configuration file AsBuiltReport.VMware.vSphere.json;
Set vCenter InfoLevel to 2 or lower
Set Host InfoLevel to 2 or lower
Set Cluster InfoLevel to 3 or lower
Expected behavior
The required user privileges to generate a VMware vSphere report are not provided with VMware on Cloud solutions.
