Service account unable to execute powershell commands (Get-Cluster)

Question

We have created service account in active directory. The user is assigned to administrator, Hyper-v administrator group. Also under the failover cluster settings the service account is assigned full permissions. But when we logged into the user and try to run "Get-Cluster" command it says access denied.

Below is the error from an application called Dynatrace

Hi，

You need to run the Get-Cluster cmdlet in an elevated PowerShell (run as administrator) which has the full privileges.
