Table 3‑9. Security Tab Settings
Setting Description
Name Display the name of an NSX security group or tag. The names
are derived from security components in the design canvas.
Select the check box next to a listed security group or tag to use
that group or tag for provisioning from this machine component.
Type Indicate if the security element is an on-demand security group,
an existing security group, or a security tag.

Endpoint Display the endpoint used by the NSX security group or tag.
Properties Tab
Optionally specify custom property and property group information for your vSphere machine component.
You can add individual and groups of custom properties to the machine component by using the
Properties tab. You can add also custom properties and property groups to the overall blueprint by using
the Properties tab when you create or edit a blueprint by using the Blueprint Properties page.
You can use the Custom Properties tab to add and configure options for existing custom properties.
Custom properties are supplied with vRealize Automation and you can also create property definitions.
Table 3‑10. Properties > Custom Properties Tab Settings
Setting Description
Name Enter the name of a custom property or select an available
custom property from the drop-down menu. For example, enter
the custom property name Machine.SSH to specify whether
machines provisioned by using this blueprint allow SSH
connections. Properties only appear in the drop-down menu if
your tenant administrator or fabric administrator created property
definitions.
Value Enter or edit a value to associate with the custom property
name. For example, set the value as true to allow entitled users
to connect by using SSH to machines provisioned by using your
blueprint.
Encrypted You can choose to encrypt the property value, for example, if the
value is a password.
Overridable You can specify that the property value can be overridden by the
next or subsequent person who uses the property. Typically, this
is another architect, but if you select Show in request, your
business users are able to see and edit property values when
they request catalog items.
Show in Request If you want to display the property name and value to your end
users, you can select to display the property on the request form
when requesting machine provisioning. You must also select
overridable if you want users to provide a value.
