What to do next
If you have not already added a service to make the workflows available for delegated administrators or
end users, perform the procedure described in “Configure the Catalog Item for the Workflow,” on page 46.
Entitle users to the actions that will be displayed for desktop and pool items in vRealize Automation. See
“Entitle Users to Action Items,” on page 56.
Entitle Users to Action Items
After you create action items, you can entitle end users and delegated administrators to use the action
buttons on the Items tab of vRealize Automation.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have administrator credentials for the Orchestrator server. The account must be a
member of the vRealize Orchestrator Admin group configured to authenticate through vCenter Single
Sign-On.
n
Verify that you have created entitlements so that delegated administrators and end users can use
services. See “Create Entitlements for Delegated Administrators and End Users,” on page 43.
n
Create service blueprints for the appropriate workflows. See “Import Workflows for Desktop and Pool
Management,” on page 52.
Procedure
1 Log in to vRealize Automation as an administrator.
2 Click the Administration tab.
3 Select Catalog Management > Entitlements.
4 Click the appropriate item in the list on the Entitlements page.
You have already created entitlements for services, and now you are adding entitlements for actions.
5 On the Items & Approvals tab, click the Add (+) icon for Entitled Actions.
