   The address is of the type http:// appliance-IP-address-or-FQDN/ui.
2. From the vSphere Client menu, select Administration.
3. Select Single Sign On > Users and Groups.
4. Click on the Groups tab, select SystemConfiguration.BashShellAdministrators from the options available in the Group Name column.
5. Click EDIT.
6. In the Edit Group window, to add members, select the domain from the dropdown menu and then search for the required users.
