Accessing Request Manager

4

You can access the Request Manager User Portal or the Request Manager Admin Portal, depending on your

role and the tasks you need to perform.
The Request Manager Admin Portal is used by vCloud Administrators, Blueprint Administrators, and Asset

Managers to perform management tasks. VMware vCloud Request Manager uses technology from VMware

Service Manager. When you log into the vCloud Request Manager Admin Portal, it is labeled VMware Service

Manager.
Asset Managers can use the Request Manager Admin Portal to perform tasks such as displaying software

license inventory, adding software license inventory, and associating software licenses with vApp templates.
vCloud Administrators can use the Request Manager Admin Portal to perform post-installation configuration

tasks, such as connecting to additional instances of VMware vCloud Director and changing security settings.
The Request Manager User Portal is used by engineers and cloud owners to request new cloud partitions and

provision new virtual applications. See the VMware vCloud Request Manager User's Guide.
