Create Entitlements for Delegated Administrators and End Users

To create an entitlement in vRealize Automation, administrators specify a business group and the service that corresponds to that group.

If you have been using vRealize Automation, you might have already created these entitlements or equivalent ones.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you have administrator credentials for the vRealize Orchestrator server. The account must be a member of the vRealize Orchestrator Admin group configured to authenticate through vCenter Single Sign-On.
• Create the business groups that contain the users you want to entitle. See Create Business Groups for Delegated Administrators and End Users.
• Create the services that correspond to the business groups you want to entitle. See Create Services for Delegated Administrators and End Users.
• Familiarize yourself with the procedures for creating entitlements in vRealize Automation. The vRealize Automation documentation is available at https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Automation/index.html.

Procedure

1. Log in to vRealize Automation as an administrator.
2. Click the Administration tab.
3. Select Catalog Management > Entitlements.
4. Create an entitlement for delegated administrators.
   1. Click the Add Entitlement (+) icon.
   2. On the Details tab, supply a name, and in the Status list, select Active.
   3. From the Business Group list, select the business group that you just created for delegated administrators.
   4. In the Users & Groups field, specify users from the delegated administrators business group, and click Next.
   5. On the Items & Approvals tab, click the Add (+) icon for Entitled Services and select the delegated administrator service that you created earlier.
   6. Click Add.
5. Repeat the step to create an entitlement for end users.
