AllVirtualMachinesResource

List virtual machines of the user

Retrieve all the VMs that a user can access in the enterprise, using a single query. This resource supports only GET requests because it is an access point for a group of resources. The VM entities in the response include links that you can use to access the VMs, their virtual datacenters, and their virtual resources.

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can also retrieve VMs through infrastructure, either at the top level or per physical machine.

Cloud admins may need to use the switch enterprise feature because this request only returns VMs in the current enterprise
