Same as this topic, which was closed despite the user informing that the permissions did not enable launching element: https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/custom-role-help-45391

 

I’ve tried various auth policies to try to allow access.

according to KB-19091 - https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA0VO0000008Iar0AE Currently, users must have either the built-in Prism Admin or Super Admin system role assigned to launch PE from PC via Cluster Quick Access.

Has the user also been granted permissions to the subnets in the prism element?  Even if a user has cluster-level permissions, they may not see the cluster or related subnets if they have not also been granted access to the specific subnets on that Prism Element.

I will check but they can see the link on the dashboard and click it, they are just told they do not have permission. 

 

Can someone provide me a working link for this KB?

Thank you. Unfortunately I am on 7.5.1.1 already.

Have checked this. Let me know if there’s a role that should always allow launching element and I’ll see if it isn’t one of the ones I already have assigned.
