vRealize Automation console before they can navigate to the pages to which they have been granted access.
Create a Business Group
Business groups are used to associate a set of services and resources to a set of users, often corresponding to
a line of business, department, or other organizational unit. You create a business group so that you can
congure reservations and entitle users to provision service catalog items for the business group members.
To add multiple users to a business group role, you can add multiple individual users, or you can add
multiple users at the same time by adding an identity store group or a custom group to a role. For example,
you can create a custom group Sales Support Team and add that group to the support role. You can also use
existing identity store user groups. The users and groups you choose must be valid in the identity store.
To support vCloud Director integration, the same business group members in the vRealize Automation
business group must also be members of the vCloud Director organization.
After a tenant administrator creates the business group, the business group manager has permission to
modify the manager email address and the members. The tenant administrator can modify all the options.
This procedure assumes that IaaS is installed and congured.
