Architecture and licensing

Self-service automation portal is built on Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH), which provides the web interface and plugin framework. Your Ansible Automation Platform subscription includes the use of RHDH for the self-service portal without requiring a separate RHDH subscription.

RHDH provides the foundational features for the self-service portal, including:

• User authentication and authorization
• Plugin architecture for custom integrations
• Web interface components and navigation
• Template and catalog management

The self-service portal extends RHDH with Ansible Automation Platform-specific plugins that enable automation job execution, template synchronization, and integration with Ansible Automation Platform organizations and job templates.
