The default template is unbound to a DC/Cluster by design, so while
forcing an assignment in the db could work (not sure), it's not
supported and likely to break at some point. See [1] for details on
that 3.6 change.
However, since the root issue seems to be users not being able to use
the template, you should be able to assign permissions that allow this
from the Templates > Permissions sub-tab. If this isn't working, it
could be a bug.

Oh, now I see. Indeed, I was able to see the template in the side
'Template' tab, but unable to see it when deploying a machine. I
realized that for some reason the Blank template missed the
UserTemplateBasedVm permission (most probably someone accidentally
deleted it), so I added it back and now I can see it.
Thanks very much for the insight.

Nicolás

Hi Nicolás,
<br>
<br>
Removing the default cluster should be ok, since the templates
don't
<br>
bind VMs to a DC/Cluster--you should be able to specify the
DC/Cluster
<br>
when creating a VM.

Hi Greg,
<br>
<br>
I'll elaborate a bit further on the issue. I'm attaching a
screenshot of
<br>
the 'Templates' tab on the webadmin pane - As you can see, all
of them
<br>
have a Data Center and a Cluster assigned (columns 4 and 5) but
the
<br>
Blank template (because we deleted the default DC). Even if this
<br>
template has the 'Everyone' permission, as we're granting
permissions to
<br>
our users on the Data Center, they are not able to see the Blank
<br>
template in the list when deploying new machines in the
userportal view,
<br>
so currently they necessarily need to choose a template from the
list
<br>
which is not Blank, and that's an issue to some of them.
<br>
<br>
That's why I was wondering if there's a manual way to assign the
DC and
<br>
Cluster to the Blank template, even modifying it directly in the
DB, so
<br>
the users see it in the userportal.
<br>
<br>
Any hint is very appreciated.
<br>
<br>

<br>
