Introduction

The Marketplace Portal is a one-stop shop for all of your IT service needs—where you can order, track, and manage your IT services!

The Marketplace Portal is a self-service web interface that retrieves service offerings for IT applications from the HPE Cloud Service Automation server and displays them in an intuitive view.

User Roles

The Marketplace Portal supports the following user roles:

  • Consumer: You can subscribe to and manage service offerings, manage service subscriptions, and perform actions on service instances.
  • Consumer Organization Administrator: In this role, you can:
    • Create, edit, and delete catalogs in your organization.
    • Manage service offerings in your organization's catalogs.
    • Manage a user's subscriptions in a certain organization by performing actions on a subscription on behalf of the original subscriber.
    • Use HPE IT Business Analytics to measure and optimize the cost, risk, quality, and value of IT services and processes.

Workflow

In the Marketplace Portal, the service offering workflow consists of:

Configuration Checkout and Delivery Request Confirmation

This workflow includes subscription requests, a scheduling process for service offering deployment, and a notification process for subscribers and approvers.

In the Marketplace Portal, you can filter, sort, and search service offerings. This view grants users services configured in the administration area.

The Marketplace Portal provides a user interface that adapts and scales views to optimize the display within the available screen size.
