Setting the Default Organization

When you deploy Administration Console, an organization is created by default along with the MA account. This default organization is referred to as Default Organization (DEFAULTORG).

As a single-organization system, the Default Organization is useful because you do not need to create any new organizations. You can configure the Default Organization settings, change its Display Name, and then continue to use it for administering purposes. In the case of a multi-organization system, however, you can either rename the Display Name of the Default Organization, configure its settings, and continue to use it as the default, or you can create a new organization and set it as the Default Organization.

Note: Typically when you create administrators or enroll users without specifying their organization, then they are created in the Default Organization.

To specify the Default Organization:

1. Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
3. Click the Administration Console option on the submenu of the tab.
4. Under the UDS Configuration section on the side-bar menu, click the Set Default Organization link to display the page.
5. Under Default Organization, select the organization that you want to set as the Default Organization from the Organization Name list.
6. Click Save to save the changes you made on this page.
7. Refresh all deployed RiskMinder Server instances.

   See "Refreshing the Cache" for instructions on how to do this.
