vRealize Automation console before they can navigate to the pages to which they have been granted

Create a Business Group
Business groups are used to associate a set of services and resources to a set of users. These groups
often correspond to a line of business, department, or other organizational unit. You create a business
group so that you can configure 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 configured.
Prerequisites

If you want to add machines created by business group members to a particular Active Directory
organizational unit, configure the Active Directory policy. See Create an Active Directory Policy. You
can and apply the policy when you create the business group, or add it later.

If you want to provide a default machine prefix for the group that is prepended to provisioned machine
names, request a prefix from a fabric administrator. See Configure Machine Prefixes. Machine
prefixes are not applicable to XaaS requests.
