Error while installing Splunk Add-On for VMware

Hi, 

I'm trying to use the Splunk Add-On for VMware with the DCN OVA. 
The installation process is done according to the docs, but when trying to configure the DCN for data collection, I'm getting the below error:

"You are attempting to configure the data collection features of this system, but this has not been enabled. to enable this system to be used as a data collection scheduler, add the "splunk_vmware_admin" role to the admin account."

 

The admin role has the correct permissions and roles assigned to it, but I'm still getting the error.

NOTE:
When I used the "OVA Metrics" the configuration process finished as expected, but I would like to use the one without the metrics. 

Any idea?

Hi @ynag 
This is a legacy App please check this docu : 
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CPVMwareDash/latest/CP/About

It appears that you don't have sufficient permissions.
To resolve this, please assign both the 'splunk_vmware_admin' and 'splunk_vmware_user' roles to the admin user.
You can find detailed instructions in the documentation provided below:
