Purpose

To provide a workaround to the users who want to use non-admin users to create GRE tunnel via API call.

Cause

The issue is that there are missing entries in vsmRoles.properties for auth identifier "edge.tunnel".

Impact / Risks

Non Admin users assigned with full Enterprise Admin privileges cannot create GRE tunnels

However, only the account "admin" is authorized to create the GRE tunnels via API call

This is a known issue affecting VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.0 to 6.4.6.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.7, available at VMware Downloads.
