Vagrant will not boot with Parallals - Host OS Administrator Error

Summary:

I am attempting to get Vagrant up and running while using Parallels as a Virtual Machine provider.

What I've done:

  1. I downloaded and installed Vagrant (the OS X version).
  2. I uploaded the following config.yaml file to puphpet.com that has been set up for development our website. (See below).
  3. I ran vagrant up and it spent several minutes working and logging status to the terminal.
  4. It stopped with the error:

There was an error while command execution. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["prlctl", "clone", "packer-parallels-iso", "--name", "packer-parallels-iso_1420581521788_27867"]

Stderr:
Failed to clone the VM: The operation failed. To perform this operation, you must enter the host OS administrator's credentials.

Here is the config.yaml that I used (where ourwebsite is the site we are working on):

Aftermath:

I have done quite a bit of searching, but this doesn't seem to be a very common problem. The issue came up, but was supposed to be resolved with Parallels 10 (which I have confirmed that I have) and Vagrant 1.7.1 (which I have confirmed I have). I also made sure all of the settings were un-checked.

I have tried:

Any time I run vagrant up with circumstances similar to what I've described, it almost immediately gives an that exact error message after these two lines:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'parallels' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'puphpet/centos65-x64'...

I have been unable to figure out a way to dig more into the problem.

Questions:

Based off of the details that I've given, is the problem with my Vagrant configuration files, or is it with Parallels? Is there a way to get a more human-readable error message of what could be causing it? Obviously, I'm more then happy to provide the "host OS administrator's credentials", but am anaware of how I may do so.

-- as a side note, I am new to Vagrant.

This github issue comment may have the solution - Under Parallels Desktop -> Settings -> Advanced you may have some boxes ticked that should be, "Require Password to:" section.

As a side note, this seems to be an issue with the vagrant-parallels plugin and you may have a better chance of receiving a response from them, since they're a commercial entity.
