The one that always bothers me is when I want to make a person an administrator of a cluster (not a datacenter), but then they are not allowed to create new VMs because they do not have access to the datastores. You can add them to the datacenter level and adjust permissions accordingly, but they can still see other datastore that are not theirs. I have resorted to creating my own custom role to address these issues. I have experienced many such problems when using permissions on vCenter 2.5.
