Thanks, that clarifies quite a bit. The permissions are being applied to
"System" for the regular UserRole, but I don't see where to define what
objects the roles are assigned to.

Hi Jeff
Roles determine two things:
1. What the user can see
2. What the user can do
It is important to know on who is the user, what is the role (UserRole? as
you also mentioned SuperUser?) and on what object(s) was the role granted
on.
Assuming it is UserRole, on a specific user, then:
If on a VM, then the user can see/operate on this VM.
If on a Cluster, then the user can see/operate on all the VMs in this
cluster.
If on a DC, then the user can see/operate on all the VMs in clusters that
are part of this DC.
If on System, then the user can see/operate on all the VMs in the system.
So the hierarchy is System-->DC-->Cluster-->VM.
I hope this clarifies you question.

Oved
