2 Create an XaaS Blueprint for Creating a User
You create the Create a user in a group XaaS blueprint so that you can run the workflow that adds
an Active Directory user and assigns the user to an Active Directory group. You can create the
blueprint as a standalone XaaS blueprint or as a blueprint component. In this scenario, you are
creating a standalone blueprint.
3 Create a Resource Action to Change a User Password
You can create a resource action to allow the consumers of the XaaS create a user blueprint to
change the password of the user after they provision the user.
4 Create a Service and Add Creating a Test User Blueprint to the Service
You can create a service to display the Create a user catalog item in the service catalog.
5 Entitle the Service and the Resource Action to a Consumer
Business group managers and tenant administrators can entitle the service and the resource action
to a user or a group of users. After they are entitled, they can see the service in their catalog and

provision the item, they can request to change the user password.
