Working with the Identity and Tenant
Management service in VMware Aria Suite LifecycleLast Updated January 26, 2025
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
Use user and identity management
options to map users in
VMware Workspace ONE Access
to roles that are available in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
. Note that the VMware Identity Manager and
Workspace ONE Access
terms are used
interchangeably in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
product documentation.Configuring
VMware Workspace ONE Access
is a mandatory process before you install any
VMware Aria Suite
products. If you have not installed VMware Workspace ONE Access
when installing VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
, you are prompted to configure and proceed. Deployment of an identity manager through
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
is
performed either through a single node or a cluster with an internal PostgreSQL database
embedded in the appliance and does not support an external database like Microsoft SQL.
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
supports scale-out of VMware Workspace ONE Access
. For more information, see Scale out Workspace ONE Access for high availability in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.After you deploy a global environment
successfully, you can view the following options in the
service.- Directory Management
- User Management
- Tenant Management

The following roles are available and visible
on the
User Management
page:- LCM Cloud Admin
- Content Developer
- Content Release Manager
- Certificate Administrator
Although the
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
Cloud Admin has access to the
VMware Workspace ONE Access
service, only
a few services in the tab (for example, NTP Server Setting
,
SNMP
, DNS
, and Binary
Mapping
) are accessed. Only the
LCM Cloud
Admin
role and the admin@local
user have access
rights to all the settings in the Identity and Tenant Management
service. The default admin@local
user is the only application
administrator who can modify the User Management
service, which
in turn handles the Directory Management
and Identity
Management
services. With migration from earlier versions of
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
to
the current VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
version, the VMware Workspace ONE Access
Admin and VMware Workspace ONE Access
Cloud Admin roles are converged into VMware Workspace ONE Access
Cloud Admin. All users who
were part of VMware Workspace ONE Access
Admin
in the previous versions of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
would now become VMware Workspace ONE Access
Cloud Admin in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
. Adding
VMware Workspace ONE Access
is an
optional step and by configuring VMware Workspace ONE Access
with single sign-on across VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
and products can be achieved. When
VMware Workspace ONE Access
is used with VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
, only Active Directory over
LDAP
and Active Directory with IWA
are used to sync users and groups to the
VMware Workspace ONE Access
service. Active Directory over LDAP and Active Directory
with IWA are the only supported directory integration.
