Users

Users are migrated from vRealize Automation 7 to vRealize Automation 8 as strings.

vRealize Automation 8 does not perform user validation on migrated users. To make sure your users work, it is recommended to create users first in vRealize Automation 8 then migrate your source environment.

Rule-Based Object Entitlements

In vRealize Automation 7, users were granted object entitlements by user account. In vRealize Automation 8, object entitlements are rule-based by user role, meaning all users of the same role have the same object entitlements. For example, two users with the same user role assigned to the same business group have the same entitlements to all project items.

To govern object entitlements:

1. Create a separate project.
2. Assign the desired user to the project.
3. Assign associated entitled objects to the project.

Note: You cannot share deployments between projects.
