Every time the ESXi server is rebooted, it appears that it resets all of the permission sets to default. This includes users, or roles, that are created through the web interface or using esxcli.
For instance, if I create a user named test and assign it the administrator role, it works until the machine is rebooted. After reboot, a check of the permissions shows that root is once again the only user assigned to this role. While the Administrator role is used as an example here, it also applies to user defined roles as well.
Any ideas?
