vRealize Automation console before they can navigate to the pages to which they have been granted
access.
What to do next
Optionally, you can create your own custom groups from users and groups in your Active Directory
connections. See Create a Custom Group.
Create a Custom Group
Tenant administrators can create custom groups by combining other custom groups, identity store groups,
and individual identity store users.
You can assign roles to your custom group, but it is not necessary in all cases. For example, you can
create a custom group called Machine Specification Approvers, to use for all machine pre-approvals. You
can also create custom groups to map to your business groups so that you can manage all groups in one
place. In those cases, you do not need to assign roles.

The Authorities Granted by Selected Roles list indicates the specific authorities you are granting.
