Can't add Tags in VCenter

[Skiver Veteran]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm sure this is something stupid I'm missing but I'm going round in circles. Users are wanting to use the Tagging feature to manage their VMs however unfortunately the option appears Greyed out for them...

 

 

Obvious thing here is permissions, if I look at the users role and what I believe is the correct permissions they seem to have what I'd expect. As a Full Admin I can add Tags and Categories and other Admins can see these tags. Not sure what that proves other than the fact they are saving to the DB but the users can't actually create.

 

 

As far as I can see, Tagging is a feature of the web client only? If there is a way to do it in the thick client I'd appreciate if someone can tell me where it's hiding. I don't trust the web client so I'd love to see if this is the same in the Thick client also.

Eventually figured this out, VCenter tagging has to be applied from a permissions perspective at the VCenter level not at a datacenter level.
