Horizon vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In Workflow Reference
Each workflow has a specific purpose and requires certain inputs.
For the workflows in the vCAC60 folder, the administrator must bind the workflow to a pod and pool. See
“Bind vSphereWebClient Workflows to Specific Pods and Pools in vCenter Orchestrator,” on page 30.
When a delegated administrator or end user runs the workflow, the workflow operates only on the
designated pod and pool.
Add User(s) to App Pool
Purpose Allows a delegated administrator to entitle users to an
application pool.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, user names
Binding requirements
For the vCAC60 folder, the administrator must bind this
workflow to a pool and pod. For the vSphereWebClient
folder, no binding is required. If you do bind the workflow to
a pod, in vSphere Web Client, you see a drop-down list of
pools and the users entitled to each pool.
Results Entitled users get direct access to specified applications.
Add User(s) to App
Pools
Purpose Allows a delegated administrator to entitle users to multiple
application pools.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool IDs, user names
Binding requirements
For the vCAC60 folder, the administrator must bind this
workflow to pools and a pod. For the vSphereWebClient
folder, the administrator must bind this workflow to a pod. In
vSphere Web Client, you see a drop-down list of pools and
the users entitled to each pool.
Results Entitled users get direct access to the specified application.
Add User(s) to Desktop
Pool
Purpose Allows a delegated administrator to entitle users to a desktop
pool.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, user names
Binding
requirements
For the vCAC60 folder, the administrator must bind this
workflow to a pool and pod. For the vSphereWebClient
folder, no binding is required. If you do bind the workflow to
a pod, in vSphere Web Client, you see a drop-down list of
pools and the users entitled to each pool.
Results Users get entitled to the specified desktop pool. They can get a
machine for floating pools or automatically assigned
dedicated pools (subjected to availability). For other type of
pools, users need to be assigned to the machine explicitly
through the assignment workflows.
Application Entitlement
Purpose Allows a delegated administrator to entitle users to an
application pool and to remove users' entitlements.
Inputs/parameters Pod, pool ID, users to entitle, and users to unentitle (selected
from a default list)
Binding requirements
For the vCAC60 and vSphereWebClient folders, the
administrator must bind this workflow to a pool and pod.
Results Entitlements can be added and removed in the same
workflow.
