Hi All, I am trying to build a VM in vmware vcenter using terraform(V0.12.24). The vspehere provider version is 1.18.1. However getting below error: Error: error reconfiguring virtual machine: error processing disk changes post-clone: disk.0: ServerFaultCode: NoPermission: RESOURCE (vm-159576:2000), ACTION (queryAssociatedProfile): RESOURCE (vm-159576), ACTION (PolicyIDByVirtualDisk) The same code works with vpshere provider version 1.15.0. Anything above that fails with same error. What is causing this issue? Any hints or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks all in advance. ---

Hey, Is there any update on this issue? I have the same issue with Terraform v0.12.25 and vsphere provider version 1.18.2. I tried downgrading to vsphere v1.15.0 but didnt solve it for me. Error was “Virtual machine customization failed” ---

It must be permission related issue. Is your provisioning user administrator? Please provide more details with your scenario and error codes so we can help you. ---

Is there an update on the cause of this issue? Getting the same error using terraform version 0.14.10 and VSphere version 6.7.0.46000. Just for clarity this does work with administrator account. I’m looking to have this working with a custom account with the proper roles assigned to that account. ---

On vcenter, change the role permission and set Storage Views → “View” permission. Other permissions: - Datastore - Allocate space - Browse datastore - Low level file operations - Remove file - Update virtual machine files - Update virtual machine metadata - Folder (all) - Create folder - Delete folder - Move folder - Rename folder - Network - Assign network - Resource - Apply recommendation - Assign virtual machine to resource pool - Virtual Machine - Configuration (all) - for now - Guest Operations (all) - for now - Interaction (all) - Inventory (all) - Provisioning (all) ---

Just incase anyone else is having problems, for versions of vSphere \> 7, At the root object of vCenter, you must enable: **VM storage policies** - Update VM storage policies - View VM storage policies Prior to version 8, these two fields were found under **Profile-driven Storage** - Update VM storage policies - View VM storage policies
