Add To Used By Category
If vSphere APIs begin with /rest, maps are consumed and emitted as lists of objects containing a key:value pair.
Adds the usedByEntity to the CategoryModel.used-by subscribers set for the specified category. If the usedByEntity is already in the set, then this becomes an idempotent no-op. To invoke this operation, you need the modify CategoryModel.used-by privilege on the category.
