Adding Child Organization
Pre-requisites:
To create child organizations from an organization, you must have the Manage Organizations permission for the organization in which you want to create the child organization or that permission for one of that organization's antecedents.
You create a new child organization using the Add Organization action in the Organization Details page.
Each organization can have one or more child organizations, each of which in turn can also have child organizations, and so on. This allows you to model hierarchies such as, for example, when a large corporation consists of many independently operating companies that in turn have regional subdivisions.
* To add a child organization
1. In the CentraSite Business UI activity bar, click Organizations.
This displays a list of defined organizations in the Organizations page.
2. Click an organization to which you want to add the child organization.
This opens the Organization Details page. Also, the actions bar displays the set of actions that are available for working with the displayed organization.
3. Click Add Child Organization.
4. Provide the values for the child organization's fields in the Organization Details page as required.
The fields displayed are the same fields as that for the parent organization.
In this field...
Do the following...
Name
Type a name for the child organization. An organization name can contain any character (including spaces).
Note: An organization name does not need to be unique within the CentraSite registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving the same name to multiple organizations.
Description
Optional. Type a description for the child organization. This description appears when a user displays the list of organizations on the CentraSite Control.
Administrator(s)
Assign an administrator for this organization.
Each organization requires at least one administrator. The administrator receives all permissions required to perform any administrator-level operation on the organization. As you enter characters in this field, the dialog displays all known users whose user ID begins with the characters you have entered. If your user repository is based on LDAP, the search additionally looks for any user that has an LDAP attribute value that matches the characters you type.
You can use wildcards in this field. For example *abc finds users with user IDs such as org1abc or department52abc, or users with LDAP attributes that have these values. The wildcard * represents any number of characters; the wildcard % represents any single character.
The list of user IDs returned displays users who are already registered in the organization, as well as users in the user repository who are not yet registered as users in CentraSite. If you select one of the unregistered users, this user becomes a registered user in the organization and is assigned to be an administrator of the organization.
You can define more than one administrator for the organization. Click + beside the field labeled Administrator(s) to add additional administrators.
Web Page
Optional. Type the website URL of the organization.
Address
Optional. Provide the address information for the primary location of this organization.
Contact Information
Provide the contact information for the primary contact of this organization.
a. Enable the Select Administrator as Primary Contact option if you want the individual specified in the Administrator field to serve as the organization's primary contact.
—OR—
Click Pick Existing or Create New to select a user from CentraSite's user database or from an external directory, respectively.
b. Provide the phone and fax numbers for the primary contact. You can provide multiple phone and fax numbers.
5. Click Save.
