Using the Application Services
Web Interface 8
You can use the Application Services Web interface to register cloud providers, maintain the library of
virtual machine templates and services, create applications, deploy applications, publish a deployment
profile to the vRealize Automation service catalog, update deployed applications, and tear down deployed
applications from the cloud.
Note You must use the CLI to register the vRealize Automation server and import and export packages
between different instances.
You can also use the CLI to deploy applications, update deployed applications, and tear down deployed
applications. See General CLI Options.

Using the Application Services Web Interface
Log In to Application Services
You log in to the Application Services Web interface with SSO credentials for the registered tenant and
with an Application Servicesuser role assigned.
Whether you can perform a particular task after you log in depends on the roles assigned to the user
account. The objects you can see depend on the business group associated with the user, and whether
the objects are also associated with that business group. You can log in with any Application Services
user role. See Chapter 5 Setting Up Users and Groups.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the Application Services appliance has a registered vRealize Automation instance and
tenant.
n
Verify that your SSO credentials include access to the registered tenant and have at least one
Application Services user role assigned.
n
Verify that you have the URL for the Application Services Web interface. This Web URL appears in
the console of the virtual machine that hosts Application Services when installation is finished. For the
URL and instructions on starting Application Services, see Start the Application Services Appliance.
