Create Additional Tenants
As a system administrator, you can create additional vRealize Automation tenants so that users can access
the appropriate applications and resources that they need to complete their work assignments.
A tenant is a group of users with specic privileges who work within a software instance. Typically, a
default vRealize Automation tenant is created during system installation and initial conguration. After
that, administrators can create additional tenants so that users can log in and complete their work
assignments. Administrators can create as many tenants as needed for system operation. When creating
tenants, administrators must specify basic conguration such as name, login URL, local users, and
administrators. After conguring basic tenant information, the tenant administrator must log in and set up
an appropriate Active Directory connection using the Directories Management functionality on the
Administrative tab of the vRealize Automation console. In addition, tenant administrators can apply custom
branding to tenants.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator.
Procedure
1 Specify Tenant Information on page 137
The rst step to conguring a tenant is to name the new tenant and add it to vRealize Automation and
create the tenant-specic access URL.
