Privileges: Access Infrastructure view and PCRs, Manage public cloud regions |
To allow users to deploy in the public cloud region, edit your enterprises to add the new region to the Allowed datacenters list and to add cloud provider API credentials See Obtain public cloud credentials
You will require one separate account for each enterprise using a public cloud region, i.e. one account per enterprise
For certain regions, such as those in China, you will require separate credentials, which you can enter separately with the appropriate provider (e.g. Amazon CHINA)
For vCloud Director, you will require Organization and Administrator credentials
To allow administrators to manage the public cloud region, edit your administration scopes and add the new region
