Introduction
In multitenant environments, it is possible to create additional services.
These can be linked to users, tenants, servers, desktop and application template definitions, and VM Models. Additional services generate a mark on these objects to identify them in the billing process. This is very useful when control of consumption is required and provides additional information above that which is provided by the accounting log.

This list is editable only for administrator roles. All other roles are readable.
