Congratulations you have successfully completed deploying vRA from vRSLCM, and now its time to login for the first time. For my initial deployment I deployed a single node with a self signed certificate from the vRealize Easy Installer.
When browsing to https://your_vRA_FQDN
and clicking Go To Login Page, we are presented with a login prompt from the vIDM Workspace One instance vRA is registered with. Its important to ensure we are logging in to the System Domain, since vRA’s Identity and Access Management still needs to be configured with the desired users/groups and roles.
Once logged in with the configuration admin account we can see the 6 roles assigned to the Configurationadmin user.
However if this is not the initial deployment of vRA, chances are you have already configured vIDM Workspace One with a LDAP source for authentication. When logging in to the newly deployed vRA instance for the first time, with vIDM already configured to a LDAP source, we need to change the domain back to System Domain.

Now that we have completed logging in to vRA, my first step is to browse to Identity and Access Management and integrate my domain groups from vIDM. When reaching IAM we can see our configuration admin user is entitled with the 6 roles needed to make it an administrator, however none of our users from vIDM Workspace One have been assigned Organization or Service Roles.
If we attempt to login with a domain account, prior to granting the user a role in IAM, we are presented with a 403 error. Simply click Sign Out, and log back in with the configuration admin user, noted in vRSLCM, ensuring the System Domain is selected.
403 Error It appears that you don’t have access to VMware vRealize Automation.
