An administrator has been tasked with sharing a catalog item from the VMware Cloud Foundation...

To share a specific catalog item from the Provider Consumption Org (PCO) to a tenant organization and project, follow these ordered steps:

Ordered Steps

Log Into the FinTech Organization.

Enable the Show items without a project option in the catalog.

Add the Linux VM catalog item to the AppDev project.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, catalog items from the Provider Consumption Org (PCO) can be shared across multiple tenant organizations, such as the FinTech organization, to promote infrastructure standardization. To manage these shared items, the administrator must first Log into the FinTech Organization portal directly. Within this context, catalog items shared from the provider do not initially have a project association within the local tenant workspace.

Therefore, the administrator must Enable the "Show items without a project" option in the catalog view. This setting reveals global or provider-shared items that are available to the organization but have not yet been entitled to a specific local group. Once visible, the administrator can perform the entitlement task by selecting the specific Linux VM catalog item and adding it to the AppDev project. This step creates the final link in the role-based access control (RBAC) chain, ensuring that only users assigned to the AppDev project can request and deploy the Linux virtual machine according to the organization's governance policies. This workflow allows providers to maintain "golden" templates at the fleet level while granting tenants the flexibility to assign those resources to their own internal development teams.
