export virtual center privileges?

[FSvcoe]

Hello all,

I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, but I haven't been able to find it-need to export a list of all VC privileges, not just the ones currently assigned-Thanks.

Get-Permissions is a filter I wrote, see the script in  Identifying Role Usage.
I didn't repeat it in this thread.
The sample line I gave was only a new version of the last line of the script in  Identifying Role Usage to show how to export the result to a CSV file.

By default the separator is a comma, but in our regional settings it is defined as semi-column.
Without the -Useculture parameter the Export-Csv cmdlet always uses a  comma, with that parameter it takes the separator defined in the  regional settings.

command is-

Get-Inventory -Location (Get-Datacenter <datacenter-name>) | Get-Permissions | Export-Csv -Path "C:\permissions.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Thank you, but that's exporting assigned permissions-I really was looking for a blanket list of ALL available permissions, so we could develop a matrix and assign these to custom roles.

I am not able to find a way to export the list from vCenter.

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.privileges.doc_50/GUID-ED56F3C4-77D0-49E3-88B6-B99B8B437B62.html

That link documents all of the privileges and how and where they apply.

I printed this section to a pdf and attached it to this message.

Thanks Rob. I'll keep poking around with Powershell.

FSvcoe,

were you able to get this export or develop the matrix?  I'm looking to do the exact same thing (create a matrix).

Thanks.
