Children in Multiple Organizations

When you remove an element from an organization, users belonging to that organization or to one

of its parents can no longer access that element if it is not a member of any other organization. For

example, assume an element named MyHost was not only a member of BostonWebHost_Solaris,

but also had mistakenly became a member of BostonWebHost_Windows. If you remove MyHost

from BostonWebHost_Solaris, users belonging to BostonWebHost_Solaris can no longer access the

element. Users belonging to the following organizations would still see the element because the

element is still a member of BostonWebHost_Windows.

BostonWebHosts

WebHosts

US East Coast

Keep in mind the following:

You cannot edit the Everything organization.

If you don't want users to have access to all elements, remove them from the Everything

organization.

Users can access information about all elements from security pages. For example, if a user is

assigned to an organization that has access to only hosts, the user can still see information

relating to storage systems on the security pages. accessible from the SE Home page

Because generic elements cannot be placed into organizations, they do not appear unless the

user belongs to the Everything organization. You can tell if an element is generic by

double-clicking the element in System Manager and then clicking the Properties tab. Look for its

description on this page. For example, if it is listed as “Generic Host” the element is a generic

host.

Discovery lists in HP SE (Discovery tab on the SE Home page) are not filtered. Users can see all

elements in the discovery lists regardless of their affiliation with an organization.

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