  • 1.  Removing Shell Access From User using POWERCLI

    Posted Apr 19, 2023 07:49 PM

    I am trying to create a user account on an esxi server using POWERCLI.  I can create the user with no issues, but the "enable shell access" capability is checked by default.  I want to remove this from the user I create via POWERCLI.  Please not I do *not* want to disable shell access to all users, or to the server.  Just the one user I am creating.  Does anyone know the proper command syntax to do this?

    Maybe try the command: remove-vipermission

    Use: -s=false   parameter. Like this:
    esxcli system account add -d="The coolest user" -i="MyCoolUserName" -p="MyPassword" -c="MyPassword" -s=false
