To create, delete, and modify NSX networking resources, <%= vars.platform_name %> tiles, and APIs use a VMware NSX Manager account with the Enterprise Administrator role and permissions.

Users configure <%= vars.platform_name %> to authenticate to NSX Manager for different purposes in different tiles:

* **Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile**<br>
    The Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile uses NSX Manager to create load balancers,
    providing a Kubernetes service described in the [Create an External Load Balancer](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/create-external-load-balancer/) section of the Kubernetes documentation.<br><br>
<% if current_page.data.authenttype == "pkstile" %>
    To configure the **Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition** tile's authentication to NSX Manager, see
    [About the NSX Manager Superuser Principal Identity](#certificates-nsx-pid-about), below.<br><br>
<% end %>
<% if current_page.data.authenttype == "boshtile" %>
    To configure the **Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition** tile's authentication to NSX Manager, see
    the topic [Generating and Registering the NSX Manager Superuser Principal Identity Certificate and Key](nsxt-generate-pi-cert.html).<br><br>
<% end %>
* **BOSH Director for vSphere tile**<br>
    The **BOSH Director for vSphere** tile uses NSX Manager to configure networking and security for external-facing <%= vars.platform_name %> component VMs, such as <%= vars.app_runtime_full %> routers.<br><br>
<% if current_page.data.authenttype == "pkstile" %>
    To configure the **BOSH Director for vSphere** tile's authentication to NSX Manager, see
    [Configure vCenter for Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition](vsphere-nsxt-om-config.html#vcenter-config) in _Configuring BOSH Director with NSX for Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition_.<br><br>
