Create a Provider¶
This procedure creates a provider hierarchy node in VOSS Automate and, optionally, a default provider administrator.

In VOSS Automate, the provider name is set to the current service provider name in HCM-F (if applicable).
Perform these steps:
Log in to VOSS Automate:
Enterprise deployment: Log in as entadmin at sys.hcs.
Provider deployment: Log in as hcsadmin at sys.hcs.
Go to (default menus) Provider Management > Providers.
On the Providers page, click Add.
On the Service Provider Details tab, complete the following fields:
