Using Horizon vCenter Orchestrator
Plug-In Workflows 3
You can use the predefined workflows installed by the Horizon vCO plug-in, or you can copy workflows
and customize them.
IMPORTANT For security reasons, configuration workflows can be run only from within the Orchestrator
client.
The folders and workflows that appear in the Horizon folder are the predefined workflows delivered by the
Horizon vCO plug-in. To customize a workflow, create a duplicate of that workflow. Duplicate workflows
or custom workflows that you create are fully editable.
For information about the different access rights that you can have when you work with the Orchestrator
server depending on the type of license, vCenter Server see Installing and Configuring VMware vCenter
Orchestrator.
