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 entitlements.

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 that you want to entitle. See Create Business Groups for Delegated Administrators and End Users.
  • Create the services that correspond to the business groups that you want to entitle. See Create Services for Delegated Administrators and End Users.
  • Become familiar with the procedures for creating entitlements in vRealize Automation. For information, see the vRealize Automation documentation.
