      Allow Access from Cloud Select to allow the cloud provider and the organization administrators to perform the following operations from the VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal without authenticating to the on-premises site:
      • Discover on-premises workloads and replicate them to the cloud.
      • Reverse existing replications to the on-premises site.
      • Replicate cloud workloads to the on-premises site.

      Deselect to only allow users authenticated to the on-premises VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal to configure new replications and existing replications cannot be reversed from the VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal.
