Local Orion SAM users can't see virtual machines

Question

We have a licensed SAM installation and a trial Virtualization Manager license. I've configured Virtualization Manager to poll my vCenters, and polling is working properly. I've enabled integration between Virtualization Manager and SAM. If I log into SAM as Admin or as an Active Directory domain user with SAM admin permissions, I can see the VMs in my device groups and in the Orion Virtualization tab.This is what I expect to see.

I created a local user in SAM. I created a group in SAM that contains nodes and VMs. I created a limitation for the local user that includes this group of devices. If I log in as the Orion local user - with or without admin permissions - I can't see any of the VMs. I have tried:

Giving my local user admin permissions SAM.
Creating a local user with the same name and password in Virtualization Manager.
Making that local user an Admin in Virtualization Manager .
Reconfiguring integration between Virtualization Manager and SAM.

Should my local SAM user be able to see VMs in SAM? If so, is there some additional step or permissions I need to grant?

Thanks,

Martin

After a lot of tweaking and testing, it looks like there were a couple of groups (groups including nodes, VMs, and sub-groups) that were breaking the display. When I removed those groups, the VMs started appearing for the end user. Any ideas why this might have happened?

Thanks.
