Managing Organization Users And Groups; Managing Organization Vapps - VMware CLOUD DIRECTOR 1.0 Admin Manual

Cloud Director Administrator's Guide

Managing Organization Users and Groups

When you create an organization, you can add one or more local users to the organization. After you create
the organization, you, or an organization administrator, can add local users, LDAP users, and LDAP groups
to the organization.
For more information about adding users and groups to an organization, see the VMware Cloud Director User's
Guide.

Managing Organization vApps

There are a couple of tasks related to managing organization vApps that can only be performed by a system
administrator. System administrators can import a vApp from vSphere and can force stop a running vApp.
For more information about working with vApps in an organization, see the VMware Cloud Director User's
Guide.
Import a vSphere Virtual Machine as a vApp
A system administrator can import a vSphere virtual machine as a Cloud Director vApp.
Prerequisites
You must be logged in to Cloud Director as a system administrator.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Open.
3 Click the My Cloud tab and click vApps in the left pane.
4 Click the Import from vSphere button.
5 Select a vCenter Server and a virtual machine.
6 Type a name and optional description for the vApp and select a destination organization vDC.
7 Select whether to copy or move the source virtual machine.
8 Click OK.
Force Stop a Running vApp
A system administrator can force stop a running vApp when an organization user is unable to do so.
In some cases, a user may be unable to stop a running vApp. If traditional methods for stopping the vApp fail,
you can force stop the vApp to prevent the user from getting billed.
Force stopping a vApp does not prevent the vApp from consuming resources in vSphere. After you force stop
a vApp in Cloud Director, use the vSphere Client to check the status of the vApp in vSphere and take the
necessary action.
Prerequisites
