Publish a Solution Add-On Instance To a VMware Cloud Director Organization

As a VMware Cloud Director service provider, you can publish solution add-on instances to some or to all your tenants.

Vendors can decide whether to include tenant access to some of the elements in a solution add-on, such as global roles, rights bundles, defined entity types and UI plug-ins. If a vendor configured a solution add-on element to be shared with tenants, when a service provider publishes the solution add-on instance to a tenant, these elements are also shared with the tenant. For more details on configuring solution add-on elements and scope, see VMware Cloud Director Extension Developer Guide.

Procedure

1. In the top navigation bar, click More > Solution Add-On Management.
2. On the card of the solution add-on, click Details.
3. Select the Instances tab.
4. On the left of the name of the solution add-on instance, click the vertical ellipsis (), and select Publish.
5. Select the organizations to which you want to publish the solution add-on, and click Save.

   For VMware Cloud Director 10.5.0, to publish the solution add-on to all organizations in your environment, toggle on the Publish to All Tenants option.

   Important:

   If the Publish to All Tenants option is activated, VMware Cloud Director also publishes the solution add-on instance to all organizations that you create in the future.

Results

The solution add-on instance becomes visible to the organizations to which you published it.

What to do next

If necessary, you can unpublish the solution add-on to some or to all of the organizations to which you published it.
