Objective Overview
Objective 2.2 - Create/Modify a Business Group
- 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:
- A full deployed vRealize Automation 6.x solution (minimal or distributed).
- At least one Machine Prefix created by the Fabric Administrator.
Objective Breakdown
Note: You will notice I have moved the objectives around in this post. The reason for this was because I felt it made more sense to demonstrate the create of a Business Group before configuring the different roles within that group.
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
Navigate to the VMware vRealize Automation Tenant Portal (https://vra.fqdn/vcac/org/<tenant>)
Enter the credentials for the Tenant Administrator and click Login.
Click Infrastructure.
Click Groups > Business Groups.
Click New Business Group.
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.
Click OK.
Note: Normally I would configure the Support User, Business Group Manager and Business Users as part of the creation of a Business Group. However, as this is called out separately I have decided to complete this step separately.
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.
Navigate to the VMware vRealize Automation Tenant Portal (
https://vra.fqdn/vcac/org/
Enter the credentials for the Tenant Administrator and click Login.
Click Infrastructure.
Click Groups > Business Groups.
Click on the Business Group that you want to modify.
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.
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.
