Accessing Request Manager
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.
