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 endpoints and endpoint credentials, create fabric groups, and configure
virtualization proxy agents. They also manage cloud service accounts and physical machines and storage
devices. They also monitor logs that are specific to IaaS.
Fabric Administrator
A fabric administrator is the administrator of one or more fabric groups. Fabric administrators manage
physical machines and compute resources in their groups and the reservations and reservation policies
associated with those resources. They also manage build profiles, machine prefixes, and the property
dictionary that are used across all tenants and business groups.
System-Wide Roles and Responsibilities
Users with system-wide roles manage configuration that can apply to multiple tenants. The system
administrator is only present in the default tenant, but IaaS administrators and fabric administrators can
be in any tenant.
