Updating the Basic Organization Information

To update the basic organization information:

1. Ensure that you are logged in with the required permissions and scope to update the organization.
2. Activate the Organizations tab.
3. Under the Manage Organizations section, click the Search Organization link to display the Search Organization page.
4. Enter the complete or partial information of the organization you want to search and click the Search button.

   A list of organizations matching the search criteria appears.

5. Under the Organization column, click the <ORGANIZATION_NAME> link for the required organization.

   The Organization Information page appears.

6. In the Organization Details section, edit the required fields (Display Name and Description).

   You can change the Administrator Authentication Mechanism if there are no administrators in the organization.

7. In the Localization Configuration section, perform one of the following steps:
   • Select the Use Global Configuration.
   • Edit the Date Time Format and Preferred Locale.
8. In the Custom Attributes section, edit the Name and Value fields, if required.
9. Click Next to proceed with additional configurations:
   • If the organization was created in the AuthMinder Repository and if the administrators in the organization have scope to manage organizations in the system, then do the following:
     1. On the Select Attribute(s) for Encryption page, Use Global Configuration if you want to use the global settings for your attribute encryption set configuration or select the attributes that you want to encrypt from the Available Attributes for encryption list and add them to the Attributes Selected for encryption list, and click Next.
        You cannot update the attributes if users have already been created in the organization.
     2. On the Update Administrators page, update the administrators who will manage the organization and click Next.
     3. On the Configure Account Type page, configure the account types by moving them from the Available list to the Selected list and click Next. This page is displayed only if there are account types applicable to the organization that you are updating.
     4. You cannot clear global account types.
     5. On the Configure Account Custom Attributes page, configure one or more custom attributes for the accounts in your organization and click Next. This page is displayed only if there are account types applicable to the organization that you are updating.
     6. On the Configure Email/Telephone Type page, configure the mandatory and optional Email address and Telephone Type for the users, and click Save to complete the process.
   • If the organization was created in the LDAP repository, then the Edit Organization page appears:
     1. Use the information in the table in the "Creating Organization in LDAP Repository" section to update the fields, as required, and click Next to display the page to edit the Repository Attribute Mappings.
     2. You cannot update the user name mapping. You can map unmapped attributes, if any, in this flow. Click Next to display the Select Attribute(s) for Encryption page.
     3. On the Select Attribute(s) for Encryption page, Use Global Configuration if you want to use the global settings for your attribute encryption set configuration or select the attributes that you want to encrypt from the Available Attributes for encryption list to add them to the Chosen Attributes for encryption list, and click Next.

        Note: You cannot update the attributes if users have already been created in the organization. In the case of LDAP, even a simple search operation for users in the LDAP repository registers the users in the database. So, you cannot update the attributes if you have searched for users in the LDAP repository.

     4. On the Update Administrators page, update the administrators who will manage the organization and click Next.
     5. On the Configure Account Type page, configure the account types by moving them from the Available list to the Selected list and click Next.
     6. You cannot clear global account types.
     7. On the Configure Account Custom Attributes page, configure one or more custom attributes for the accounts in your organization and click Update to save your changes and complete the process.
