Initially, the only organization that CentraSite contains is the "Default Organization". You use the following procedure to create other top-level organizations (i.e., organizations that are siblings of the Default Organization).

When you add a new organization to CentraSite, CentraSite creates the new organization in the registry and populates the organization with a set of default objects (roles, users, policies, a folder in the supporting document library, and so forth).

To create an organization

1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Organizations.

   The Organizations page lists all of the organizations that are defined in CentraSite.

2. Click Add Organization to open the Add Organization page.

3. In the Organization Information panel, specify the following fields:

   In this field...	Do the following...
   Name	Enter a name for the new 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 multiple organizations the same name.
   Description	Optional. Enter a description for the new organization. This description appears when a user displays the list of organizations on the CentraSite Control.
   Administrator	Assign an administrator for this organization. To assign an existing user to this position (i.e., a user that is already defined within CentraSite), click Pick Existing and select the user from CentraSite's existing database. To add a new user to CentraSite to serve in this position, click Create New and select the user from the external directory. If you need procedures for this, see the topic Adding a User in the section About Users in the document Users, Groups, Roles and Permissions .
   Web Page	Optional. Enter the website URL of the organization.

4. In the Address Information tab, specify the following:

   In this panel...	Do the following...
   Address	Optional. Specify the address information for the primary location of this organization.
   Contact Information	Specify the contact information for the primary contact of this organization. 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— Use the Pick Existing or Create New button to select a user from CentraSite's user database or from an external directory, respectively. Specify the phone and fax numbers for the primary contact. You can specify multiple phone and fax numbers.

5. If you have any custom properties (key-value pairs) that you want to specify for the organization, select the Object-Specific Properties tab and specify the key-value pairs as follows:

   1. Click Add Property.

   2. In the Add Object-Specific Properties dialog box, enter a keyword and value for the property. You can add multiple values for a single property.

      • The name of the property can consist of letters, numbers and the underscore character (_). It cannot contain a space or other special characters.

      • You can optionally supply a namespace for the property.

   3. Click OK.

6. If a user with administration permissions has added custom attributes to the Organization object type definition, select the Attributes tab and specify the attributes as necessary. Attributes that are marked with an asterisk (*) are required. You must at least specify all required attributes.

   Note:
   You will see the Attributes tab only if a user with administration permissions has added custom attributes to the Organization object type definition.

7. Click Save to save the new organization.
