Go to an existing virtual machine. Under **OPERATIONS**, select **Update management**, **Inventory**, or **Change tracking**. The virtual machine can exist in any region no matter the location of your Automation Account. When onboarding a solution from a VM you need to have the `Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/read` permission to determine if the VM is onboarded to a workspace. To learn about additional permissions that are needed in general, see [permissions needed to onboard machines](automation-role-based-access-control.md#onboarding).
