Introduction
In this series of posts, we will be taking a look at how to configure a Multi-Organization Tenancy (aka Multi-Tenancy) in vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.1. In this post, I will tackle the configuration of new Tenant Adminsistrators within vRA 8.1 multi-organization tenancy environment.

What is a Tenant Administrator?
The Tenant Administrator is a role who is responsible for the configuration of the VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) solution for the tenant. This makes it role in vRA 8.1 is significantly different to in vRA7.x because the Tenant Administrator role does not, by default, have any rights to the vRA Organisation/Tenant. The Tenant Administator is only granted ReadOnly Admin and Super Admin privilges within vIDM!

I tend to rebuild my vRealize Automation (vRA) labs ALOT. I am currently lucky and have two environments, my vRA 8 homelab and my vRA Cloud org. I wanted a way to provide a consistent configuration to both environments. I had two options open in front of me:
- Use native REST API
- Use the Terraform Provider for vRA 8/Cloud
As vRA 8 / Cloud is an API first platform, I could have definitely used the native API to complete the configuration I am looking to do. However, as I have been waiting for an opportunity to get some hands on time with Terraform I decided this was a good reasons to look at the VMware Terraform Provider for vRealize Automation 8 !!

Purpose
One of the recurring themes I hear when talking to people in the community but also when talking to customers there is a perception that vRealize Automation 8.0 does not have an Anything as a Service (XaaS) capability. This is not true and hopefully the following article will paint a clearer picture of what vRealize Automation 8.0 can actually do in this space.
Background
What is vRealize Automation 8.0?
VMware released its new Multi-Cloud Automation platform, vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.0, just before VMworld 2019 Europe in November 2019.

Introduction
In this post we’ll be looking at how we can deploy vRealize Automation 8.0 using the new Easy Installer that ships with the product. I’ll be concentrating on the UI version of the installation as that is what most people who are new to the product will use.
The process below mirrors that of the vRealize Automation 8 Installation Guide on the VMware Documentation site. Before using this guide, be sure to check there for the latest information on the installation process.
