Scenario: Entitle Users to Request Dev and QE Service Items as a Catalog Item
As the tenant administrator, you create a Dev and QE entitlement and add the catalog items and some
relevant actions so your development and quality engineering users can request the CentOS with MySQL
catalog item, and run actions against the machine and the deployment.
In this scenario, you entitle the service because you want users to be entitled to any future catalog items that
are added to this service. You also want to allow your users to manage their provisioned deployment, so you
add actions like power on and o, snapshot, and destroy deployment to the entitlement.
Procedure
1 Select Administration > Catalog Management > Entitlements.

Click the New icon (

Although you are adding the CentOS and MySQL catalog items separately, adding the service ensures
that any addition items that you add to the service at a later date are available to the business group
members in the service catalog.
