Adding an Organization

You can create new organizations to restrict access to certain elements. For example, assume you

do not want the help desk to have access to elements belonging to a certain group. You could

create an organization that does not allow access to those elements. Once you assign users to that

organization, they would only be able to access the elements you specified.
See the topic,

About the Security for the Management Server

” on page 147 for more information

about roles and organizations.
Keep in mind the following:

Create child organizations first, then their parents.

Event Manager displays events from all elements regardless of the user’s organization.

Only users belonging to the Domain Administrator role can add organizations. Only active

organizations can be edited.

All discovered elements are accessible in Business Tools, regardless of a user's restrictions. For

you run the business tool Switch Risk Analysis, the management server still provides information

about whether the switches are a risk in your environment.
