The following procedure illustrates the case where an application manager wants to create an
Prerequisites:
•You must have “VSE All Tools” authorization to modify template attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Insight Dynamics help for a discussion of tool box permissions for Application Discovery and Virtualization Manager.)
