The governance model involves knowing how to create and align business groups, entitlements, and approval policies to lines of business given input requirements. So here we need to take a look on that part of vRealize Configuration.
Busines Group is a part of vRA which has group of data such as Reservation, Reservation Policy, Network Profiles, Machine Prefix and also posibilities to request item from catalog. To create business group you need to be Tenant Administrator

Go to the Administration –> Users –> Business Group
In Business Group you can/need to assign 4 roles
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Group manager role | Can create entitlements and assign approval policies for the group. |
| Support role | Can request and manage service catalog items on behalf of the other members of the business group. |
| Shared access role | Can use and run actions on the resources that other business group members deploy. |

An entitlement is how you assign users a set of catalog items. Each of these entitlements can be managed by the business group manager or a tenant administrator can manage entitlements for all business groups in their tenant.
To create Entilement go to the Administrator –> Catalog Management –> Entitlements
