Ops Center Automator services can perform remote functions on VMware vCenter servers. A connection setting is required for the VMware vCenter server. This type of connection enables Ops Center Automator Services to create data stores in a VMware environment. The Admin role is generally required to set up the connection. For exceptions, see each service catalog topic.
