Description

It seems that this provider is unable to manage SSO users directly on the vsphere appliance. Similar situation is in ansible (which uses pyvmomi). However this provider is using govmomi library implemented in Go. govmomi also provides sample govc command line tool to showcase it's features.

I am able to create SSO users with govc just fine. Is there a specific reason, why this provider does not implemnt the user management feature?

I would like to request direct user magement through terraform resource as a feature.

Use Case(s)

One wants to create IaC automatic user (for backup, for monitoring) through terraform, but this is currently impossible, without resorting to nasty hacks

Potential Terraform Provider Configuration

Designers of this provider are probably more adept at designing this featrue than me, but in a nutshell I suggest creation of vpshere_user resource.
