Access Rights to Orchestrator Server
The type of vCenter Server license you apply in the Orchestrator configuration interface determines whether
you get read-only or full access to the Orchestrator server capabilities.
Table 9-7. Orchestrator Server Modes
vCenter License Edition vCenter Orchestrator Mode Description
Standard Server You are granted full read and write
privileges to all Orchestrator elements.
You can run and edit workflows.
Foundation Player You are granted read privileges on all
Orchestrator elements. You can run
workflows but you cannot edit them.
Essentials Player You are granted read privileges on all
Orchestrator elements. You can run
workflows but you cannot edit them.

NOTE All predefined workflows are locked as read-only by design. To edit a standard workflow, you must
duplicate the workflow and make changes to the duplicated workflow.
Import the vCenter Server License
To finish the configuration of the Orchestrator server, you must import the vCenter Server license. The set of
plug-ins delivered with Orchestrator do not require a license. If you add a plug-in that requires a license, you
must import it.
To access the vCenter Server license, you can log in the VMware Web site with the credentials that were used
to order the license.
