Summary

Power Actions is a vSphere Client plug-in that provides an easy way to share PowerCLI scripts with users who have no PowerShell experience.

Power Actions provides a script library where you can upload PowerCLI scripts that you want to make available to everyone in your organization. Users can then easily execute those scripts using a user-friendly interface to specify the script parameters. This provides an extremely powerful mechanism to extend the vSphere Client with custom PowerCLI scripts.
