I would consider 2 possible approaches: 1. You have to get a restricted user created by a VMware administrator. 2. You consider creating a "push service" to have this done. "push service": I can't think of a better name, but you basically create a service with admin/root access that scans maybe a particular directory. Your puppet scripts, for example, simply drop a file that special directory. Your service scans this directory regularly and takes the appropriate action(s). The file could contain a name and an action: "vm_foo":"create_snapshot". This would be enough information for the service to act accordingly.
