The actions that you entitle to users apply to any items that support the entitled action and they are not
limited to the services and actions in the same entitlement. For example, if Connie, a consumer of
infrastructure services, is entitled to Machine Blueprint 1 and the action Reconfigure in one entitlement,
and she is also entitled to Machine Blueprint 2 in a different entitlement, then she is entitled to reconfigure
machines provisioned from Machine Blueprint 1 and Machine Blueprint 2, as long as both blueprints allow
that action to be performed.
If multiple entitlements exist for the same business group, you can prioritize the entitlements. When a
user makes a catalog request, the entitlement and associated approval policy that applies is the highest
priority entitlement that grants the user access to that item or action.
