10 (Optional) Enter the name of a catalog item in the Entitled Catalog Items text box and press Enter.
By default, all of the catalog items included in the service are entitled to the users or user groups you
selected on the Details tab.
If you entitle a service, by adding catalog items individually you can apply different approval policies
to the catalog items.
11 (Optional) Enter the name of a resource action in the Entitled Actions text box, and press Enter.
12 (Optional) Modify the approval policies for a service, catalog item, or action.
a Point to the down arrow in the Approval Policy column and select Modify Policy.
b Select the policy to apply from the Apply this Policy drop-down menu.
c Click OK.
13 Click Add.
You created an entitlement and you can see it on the Entitlements page. If you set the entitlement in
Active status, the users and user groups that you specified can access the catalog items in the service.
When consumers of the service log in to their vRealize Automation consoles, they see the service on the
Catalog tab, and they can request the catalog items included in the service.
Extending Operations on Resources Provisioned by Other
Sources
By using resource mappings, you can publish vRealize Orchestrator workflows as resource actions for
managing items provisioned by sources other than Advanced Service Designer, for example, by IaaS or
Application Services.

Extending Operations Checklist
Resource actions for items provisioned outside of Advanced Service Designer require a resource
mapping as the input parameter. Because some resource mappings are included with your
vRealize Automation installation, the steps required to extend operations on resources provisioned
outside of Advanced Service Designer depend on the type of resource you want to extend.
n
Resource Mapping Script Actions and Workflows
You can use the provided resource mappings for vSphere virtual machines, vCloud Director virtual
machines, and vCloud Director vApps, or you can create custom vRealize Orchestrator script
actions or workflows to map additional vRealize Automation catalog resource types to
vRealize Orchestrator inventory types.
n
Create a Resource Mapping
vRealize Automation provides resource mappings for vSphere virtual machines, vCloud Director
virtual machines, and vCloud Director vApps. You can create additional resource mappings for other
types of catalog resources.
