Information

If a user is assigned the GID of a group not existing on the system, and a group with that GID is subsequently created, the user may have unintended rights to that group.

Solution

From the vSphere Client/vCenter, click on the 'Local Users and Groups' tab, then select Groups. Highlight the user, right click the user and select Edit. Select/highlight/assign the user's correct primary GID. Click OK.
