Use run commands in Azure VMware Solution

In Azure VMware Solution, vCenter Server has a built-in local user called cloudadmin assigned to the CloudAdmin role. The CloudAdmin role has vCenter Server privileges that differ from other VMware cloud solutions and on-premises deployments. You can use a run command to perform operations that normally require elevated privileges through a collection of PowerShell cmdlets.
