You must have the Super User role or the Administrator role to perform this task. If you have the Administrator

Assign a Role to a User on vCenter Chargeback
The role assigned to the user on vCenter Chargeback defines the actions that the user can perform in the
application. A user must have a role assigned to him on vCenter Chargeback or on the resource defined in the
application to enable him to perform some actions in the application.
When you create a user, no roles or permissions are assigned to it by default. You can assign the Super User
role or the Administrator role when creating the user. Alternately, you can assign a role to the user after creating
the user.
