Managing Organizations

Note: Most of the tasks in this chapter can be performed by a Global Administrator (GA) or an Organization Administrator (OA), if they have the required scope to the organization.

In the Administration Console, an organization can either map to a complete enterprise (or a company) or a specific division, department, or other entities within the enterprise. The organization structure that is provided by the Administration Console is flat. In other words, organizational hierarchy (in the form of parent and child organizations) is not supported, and all organizations are created at the same level as the Default Organization. (See "Setting the Default Organization" for more information about Default Organization.)

The larger the enterprise, the more complex its organization structure. As a result, management of organizations is a critical part of administration. The organization management operations that are supported by AuthMinder include:

• Creating and Activating Organizations
• Searching for Organizations
• Updating Organization Information
• Uploading Users and User Accounts in Bulk
• Viewing the Status of the Bulk Data Upload Request
• Refreshing Organization Cache
• Deactivating Organizations
• Activating Organizations
• Activating Organizations in Initial State
