VMware vCloud Director Integration 17
If vCloud Director integration is enabled for Data Director, Data Director system administrators can import
vCloud Director organizations and their users into Data Director and allow operations on vCloud Director
organizations through the Data Director user interface.
If the System Health panel of your system dashboard shows vCloud Director Connectivity status, vCloud
Director integration is enabled.
Consider the following points.
n
Only one vCloud Director instance can be associated with Data Director.
n
Allow access to vCloud Director organizations by importing them into (binding them to) Data Director.
See “Bind a vCloud Director Organization to Data Director,” on page 81.
n
Importing a vCloud Director organization into Data Director also imports the organization's users. By
default, the vCloud Director users have no permissions in Data Director. Data Director organization
administrators must grant permissions to the vCloud Director users to enable them to operate in Data
Director. See Chapter 3, “Managing Users and Roles,” on page 33.
n
vCloud Director organizations and users are managed in vCloud Director. You cannot update vCloud
Director user information such as user names, passwords, and email addresses in Data Director.
n
Imported vCloud Director organizations cannot access vCloud Director resources. Data Director system
administrators must assign Data Director resource bundles to imported vCloud Director organizations.
See “Managing Resources For Organizations,” on page 79.
n
Imported vCloud Director organizations appear in the Organizations window with a Managed By value
of vCloud Director.
n
Data Director system administrators can add organization administrators for imported vCloud Director
organizations. See “Add a vCloud Director Organization Administrator,” on page 197.
n
Organization administrators for vCloud Director organizations can add and invite users to their imported
vCloud Director organization in Data Director. Imported vCloud Director organization users can access
only the bound vCloud Director organization they belong to in Data Director. They cannot be added or
invited to an original Data Director organization See “Add Users to Your Organization,” on page 39.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n

n
“Enable vCloud Director Integration after Setup,” on page 196
n
