Location | Notes |

vRA Console | Create a vRA Custom Group with the name sov_admins and make the sov_admin Service Account user a member of this group. This Custom Group name is suggested for the sake of simplicity. All lowercase, no spaces (e.g. sov_admins) |
*If using AD users and groups, it is assumed a Directory is set up in vRA which allows vRA to authenticate via Active Directory.
