hello

it seems the installation didn't put your user into vmware group

can you check?

id <username>

if vmware is in the output then log off / log on should the trick

if vmware group is not there i would check the documentation and see what
went missed

but checking on internet, could be just matter of . usermod -a -G vmware
<user>

check then id <user>

and if group is there, log off / log on
