Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.5 User's Guide

Creating Server Administrator Users For VMware ESXi 5.X and ESXi 6.X

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.
5. To allow a user to access the ESXi host through a command shell, select Grant shell access to this user. Users that access the host only through the vSphere Client do not need shell access.
6. To add the user to a group, select the group name from the Group drop-down menu and click Add.
