Creating user with partial admin rights in vSphere Client

vmware-esxvmware-vsphere

I want to make a user on vSphere Client for ESX 4, but when I do so, I can only assign either no access, read-only access or admin as the roles, were admin has full access to change everything. I am trying to limit what this user can do to only his virtual machines, as opposed to other team member's VMs and the host config stuff.

How could I achieve this level of security?

Presumably this is on a standalone server, not via vCenter right? I'm a VC kind of guy so know that better but you just duplicate a similar role in the roles section, rename it and modify as needed then assign it to a user/group. You can't modify the default roles basically.

I've not got a standalone server to hand (it's late here) but I'll create one in a VM tomorrow to check ok.
