Hi all, Thanks for the responses. I'll have to look into the tags and service offerings but I've done some tests using some ansible code and using my user account, I was able to deploy VMs in both cluster CL01 and CL02 and properly tell it to create the instance in that cluster. When I tried to specifically state on which host it should be created, I get the message back that "Parameter hostid can only be specified by a Root Admin, permission denied"
I'll have a look to see if service offerings and tags can bring me something but I'm getting a feeling that, out of the box, granting users additional permissions (API calls), won't make the POD/Cluster/Host selection appear while creating a new instance. Given that I am able to (manually) select the cluster while using the API, I'm inclined to say that it's in the GUI. (but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong :) ) Kind regards, Jeroen Kleijer On Mon, Dec 9, 2024 at 12:54 PM Nux <n...@li.nux.ro> wrote: > If you try to deploy a VM via the API or cmk/cloudmonkey, can the user > select the host or cluster?
