Managing Launchers

Launchers allow users to manually initiate an interactive process. Launchers objects are tied to Entitlements and can be assigned to users through regular governance practices. Refer to Managing Access for more information about delegating entitlements, access profiles, and roles. 

The user accesses their assigned Launchers via the Launchpad.
