2 Create a Service Blueprint for Creating a User
After you created the custom resource, you can create the service blueprint to publish the Create a
user in a group workflow as a catalog item.
3 Publish the Create a User Blueprint as a Catalog Item
After you create the Create a test user service blueprint, you can publish it as a catalog item.
4 Create a Resource Action to Change a User Password
You can create a resource action to allow the consumers of the service to change the password of
the user after they provision the user.
5 Publish the Change a Password Resource Action
To use the Change the password of the Test User resource action as a post-provisioning operation,
you must publish it.
6 Create a Service for Creating a Test User
You can create a service to display in the service catalog and allow consumers to easily locate the
catalog items related to creating the test user.
7 Associate the Catalog Item with the Create a Test User Service
To include the Create a test user catalog item in the Create a Test User service, you must associate
it with this service.
8 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 so that they can see the service in their catalog and request the Create
a test user catalog item included in the service. After the consumers provision the item, they can
request to change the user password.
When consumers of the service log in to their vRealize Automation consoles, they see the service you
created, Create a test user, on the Catalog tab. They can request the catalog item you created and
included in the service, Create a user in a group. After they create the user, they can change the user
password.
