Tenant Role Overview
Tenant roles have responsibilities that are limited to a specific tenant, and cannot affect other tenants in
the system.
Tenant Administrator Typically a line-of-business administrator, business manager, or IT
administrator who is responsible for a tenant. Tenant administrators
configure vRealize Automation for the needs of their organizations. They
are responsible for user and group management, tenant branding and
notifications, and business policies such as approvals and entitlements.
They also track resource usage by all users within the tenant and initiate
reclamation requests for virtual machines.
Service Architect Umbrella term for the individuals who are responsible for creating the
blueprints for the catalog items that consumers can request from the
service catalog. This role is typically someone in the IT department, such
as an architect or analyst.
