Objective 2.2 - Create/Modify a Business Group

Objective Overview


  • Evaluate a deployment plan to determine Business Group and Tenant requirements
  • Create a new Business Group
  • Modify an existing Business Group
  • Apply the three roles defined in a business group (Admin, Support, User)

Objective Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are assumed for this Objective:

  1. A full deployed vRealize Automation 6.x solution (minimal or distributed).
  2. At least one Machine Prefix created by the Fabric Administrator.

Objective Breakdown


Evaluate a deployment plan to determine Business Group and Tenant requirements

Both Tenants and Business Groups can be used to segment an organisation within a VMware vRealize Automation Deployment.

Create a new Business Group


  1. Navigate to the VMware vRealize Automation Tenant Portal (https://vra.fqdn/vcac/org/<tenant>)
  1. Type the credentials for the Tenant Administrator and click Login.
  1. Click Infrastructure.
  1. Click Groups > Business Groups.
  1. Click New Business Group.
  1. Enter the following information mandatory information:
  • The name of the business group into the Name text box.
  • Select a Default Machine prefix by clicking ….
  • Enter an email address into the Send alert emails to: text box.
  1. Click OK.

  1. Click Logout

Modify an existing Business Group

To modify an existing Business Group, you must be a Tenant Administrator or a Business Group Manager (assuming the Business Group Manager role has been assigned to the Business Group).

In this example, I’m going to Modify the previously created Development_Users Business Group to add the Business Group Manager, Support User and Business User roles.


  1. Navigate to the VMware vRealize Automation Tenant Portal ( https://vra.fqdn/vcac/org/ )
  1. Enter the credentials for the Tenant Administrator and click Login.
  1. Click Infrastructure.
  1. Click Groups > Business Groups.
  1. Click on the Business Group that you want to modify.
  1. Complete the following:
  • At the Group Manager Role text box, enter/search for the AD User, AD Group or Custom Group for Business Group Manager (as required).
  • At the Support Role text box, enter/search for the AD or Custom Group assigned to the Support User role.
  • At the User Role text box, enter/search for the AD or Custom Group assigned to the Business User role.
  1. Click OK.

Apply the three roles defined in a business group (Admin, Support, User)

I believe this is already covered in the Modify a Business Group section.
