Configure WIM Blueprint Actions
Use blueprint actions and entitlements together to maintain detailed control over provisioned machines.
Entitlements control which machine operations specific users can access. Blueprint actions control which
machine operations can be performed on machines provisioned from a blueprint. For example, if you
disable the option to reprovision machines created from a blueprint, then the option to reprovision a
machine created from the blueprint does not appear for any users. If you enable the reprovision machine
operation, then users who are entitled to reprovision machines can reprovision machines created from
this blueprint.
Note The options that appear on the Actions tab depend on your platform and any customizations
made to your vRealize Automation instance.
