    What is your defaultResourceGroup token set to (if anything)? You can check it for the dashboard itself in the upper-right down arrow > Manage. It will have a section for tokens. You would want it to point to be your customer folder (from the resource page), and at the dashboard group level and let it be inherited by the customer dashboard(s).

    Tokens are like variables/properties that you can assign to the dashboard or dashboard group letting you more easily template dashboards, cloning them across multiple customers for example.

All resources for GOOGLE get added to GOOGLE resource group

GOOGLE get a Role called GOOGLE Users

GOOGLE Role has ‘Allowed to manage Resource Dashboards’, ‘Allowed to view Map Tabs’, ‘View GOOGLE resource group’ (and all children Resource Groups) under ‘Resources’

Joe.Bloggs@google.co.uk is assigned to GOOGLE Role.

This customer vCenter Server / vSphere is definitely inside the GOOGLE resource group

That setup sounds correct and pretty typical. Are these customer groups static or dynamic? Can a user with that role view the vmware data on the Resource page specifically? May need to temporarily allow the user to view the page if you turned that off (that setting is per-user and not in the role).
