Tenant Role Overview

Tenant roles typically have responsibilities that are limited to a specific tenant and cannot affect other tenants in the system.

Table 1. Tenant Role Overview

Role	Description
Tenant Administrator	Typically a line-of-business administrator, business manager, or IT administrator who is responsible for a tenant. Tenant administrators configure vRealize Automation for the needs of their organizations. They are responsible for user and group management, tenant branding and notifications, and business policies such as approvals and entitlements. They also track resource usage by all users within the tenant and initiate reclamation requests for virtual machines.
Fabric Administrator	Manages physical machines and compute resources assigned to their fabric groups and creates and manages the reservations and policies associated with those resources within the scope of their tenant. They also manage property groups, machine prefixes, and the property dictionary that are used across all tenants and business groups. Note: If you add the fabric administrator role to a system-wide role such as IaaS administrator or system administrator, the fabric administrator can create reservations for any tenant, not just their own.
Blueprint Architects	Umbrella term for the individuals who are responsible for creating blueprint components and assembling the blueprints that define catalog items for consumers to request from the service catalog. These roles are typically assigned to individuals in the IT department, such as architects or analysts.
