Your account doesn't seem to have the 'System.View' privilege on the vCenter root.
That could be a missing permission on the said folder or a restricted Role assigned to your account.

Talk to your vCenter Admin.

Hi Luc,

Thanks for your reply.
How can I view/change the permission?

Since you can't connect with PowerCLI, you will have to use the Web GUI I'm afraid.
Check the Permissions on the vCenter root and check the Role assigned to your account.
Make sure that Role has the 'System.View' privilege

I can access vCenter with Web GUI with root user, but could you guide me where I can check permission and role?

Interfacing with the Web GUI is a bit outside the scope of this forum.
But have a look at Security in the vSphere Environment (vmware.com)
