How to grant user role on VMs on SCVMM 2012 R2 via PowerShell

You can grant user roles into Virtual Machines for AppController with following script:

$VMs = Get-VM
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
	$UserRole = $VM.UserRole.Name
	$UserRole = Get-SCUserRole -Name "$UserRole"
	$UserRoleID = $UserRole.ID.Guid
	$UserName = $VM.Owner
	Grant-SCResource -Resource $VM -UserName $UserName -UserRoleID @("$UserRoleID")
}

That will apply VM’s owner and UserRole as a granted user role.

Check SCVMM User Role If Already Exist

Checking System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) User Role before creating would be better. Nobody wants to get errors when deploying virtual machines. Checking SCVMM user role is so simple:

$UserRole = "blabla"
$checkvmmuser = Get-VMMUserRole $UserRole
if ($checkvmmuser.Profile -eq "SelfServiceUser")
{
Write-Host "That User Role already exist."
}
else
{
.\createvmmuser.ps1 "FirstName" "LastName" "SamID"
}

I don’t know any other way to check SCVMM User Role. But this is the best so far.
