System-Wide Role Overview
System-wide roles are typically assigned to an IT system administrator. In some organizations, the IaaS
administrator role might be the responsibility of a cloud administrator.
System Administrator
The system administrator is typically the person who installs vRealize Automation and is responsible for
ensuring its availability for other users. The system administrator creates tenants and manages system-
wide configuration such as system defaults for branding and notification providers. This role is also
responsible for monitoring system logs.
In a single-tenant deployment, the same person might also act as the tenant administrator.
IaaS Administrator
IaaS administrators manage cloud, virtual, networking, and storage infrastructure at the system level,
creating and managing endpoints and credentials, and monitoring IaaS logs. IaaS administrators organize
infrastructure into tenant-level fabric groups, appointing the fabric administrators who are responsible for
allocating resources within each tenant through reservations and reservation, storage, and networking
policies.
