Unanswered VMM2012 - User with 'Author' action cannot create VM template

    As shown below the user profile is assigned the 'Author' action but after running the Create VM Template wizard and clicking 'Create' an error is displayed. Since templates are stored in the DB and there's no path in the error dialog I'm lost on where to start looking. Any help?

    Can you please provide more infomration about your user .. Is it Tenant Administrator User Role or Application Administrator (Self-Service User) ?

    It is a Self-Service user. I'd previously gone down the path of creating delegated admin users but found they have too much authority (can perform actions on VMs residing on a host whether the VM belongs to the cloud they admin or not - not a good feature).
