The administrator should assign the developer an appropriate VCF Operations content-management role, represented here by ContentAdmin . In VCF Operations 9.0, Management Pack Builder is already integrated into the product; it is not deployed as a separate appliance and does not require installation from Marketplace. The official documentation states that Management Pack Builder enables creation of custom management packs for VCF Operations and that there is no separate installation required , replacing the older standalone OVA-based model . It is accessed directly in the VCF Operations console under Developer Center > Management Pack Builder , where users can create, import, export, edit, and delete custom designs . Therefore, the environment preparation step is access enablement, not software deployment. The ContentAdmin role is the best listed fit because Broadcom documents it as a role for users who manage content such as views, reports, dashboards, and custom groups in VCF Operations . Feature flags, OVA deployment, and Marketplace installation are not required. Reference topic: Objective 4.8 – Management Pack Builder / custom management packs / access and content administration .
