user permissions - VMWare vCenter v5.5 Deleted Administrator Group -

while setting single sign-on our windows active directory (ad) server , cluster permissions, accidentally assigned administrators grouping "no access" on 1 of clusters. tried browse cluster alter permissions, not see anymore, under of accounts in administrators group. groups structured such "vsphere administrators" advertisement grouping added "administrators" vsphere.local group, advertisement business relationship assigned "vsphere administrators" advertisement grouping automatically members of "administrators" vsphere group.

my next step add together administrators total permissions vcenter server, , have propagate else. cluster still not visible.

since signed administrator account, , administrator explicitly assigned administrator role vcenter server, figured fastest way remove permissions assignment administrators grouping delete it. after deleting administrators group, still not see cluster.

i removed myself "vsphere administrators" advertisement group, signed in using advertisement account, added advertisement business relationship adminstrator role on vcenter server, , able see cluster again. adminstrators vsphere grouping still entered, removed it, , of accounts can see cluster again.

now real problem starts: when went administration -> single sign-on -> users , groups, administrator business relationship can not create/edit users or groups. other accounts adminstrator role in vcenter can not see single sign-on menu.

i tried using vmware cli, specifically

vicfg-user.pl --server <server-ip> -e grouping -o add together -d administrators

but response

host business relationship manager not found.

i ssh'd vcenter, , can't find of command line tools installed on esx hosts.

i hope can give me suggestion on making administrator user able edit users , groups, or how manually create grouping in vcenter.

thanks

you should able login administrator@vsphere.local business relationship , create changes require.

if not work need reinstall sso component, resolve issue.
