VMware vRealize Business for Cloud – Hide cost values in vRA interface

When you install vRealize Business cost values are being displayed in the vRealize Automation interface so users can see the actual cost of the VM they are requesting

 

In some circumstances however you do not want users to see the cost values.

There is a method to hide these cost values by editing the file enable-features.properties in the vRA appliance.
