  • This issue is not seen in the vSphere Client.

  • When attempting to drag and drop a Virtual Machine to a different folder, or by using Move To option, you receive errors similar to:

    This action is not available for any of the selected objects at this time.
    You do not have the required privileges for either of the objects that you want to move or for the destination objects.


Environment

Resolution

  4. Click the green plus icon to create a new Role.

  5. Provide a name for the new Role.

  6. In the Privilege list, scroll down and navigate to Virtual Machine.

  7. Expand the Virtual Machine tree, then expand the Inventory tree and check the check box for Move.

  8. Click OK to save the new Role.

Set the newly created Role at the Datacenter level and propagate down:

  1. Navigate to Hosts and clusters.

  2. Highlight the Datacenter object in the Inventory.

  3. Click on Manage and then select Permissions.

  4. Click the green plus icon to add a new permission.

  5. Click on the drop down and select the new Role from the list.

  6. Click the Add button to select the user or group to assign the permission, Click Add , then click ok.

  7. Make sure the propagate to children check box is checked, then click OK to add the permission.
