vCAC User is one of the required parameters for the workflows in the vCAC folder. You must configure that parameter to be requested by a principal ID.

You can customize workflows that are exposed through vRealize Automation by using the vRealize Automation form editor interface. You can hide or rearrange fields and add cosmetic improvements to fit into the organization service catalog. Add the blueprint for the specific workflow and customize it as needed. You can convert any workflow field to a text box, or provide values to display so that users can select values from a drop-down menu.

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.
  • Verify that a connection has been made to the pod by running the Add View Pod in Configuration workflow. See Configure the Connection to a Pod in VMware Horizon 8.
  • Verify that vRealize Automation is configured to communicate with the vRealize Orchestrator server so that the vRealize Orchestrator workflows are available.
