License requirements

The multi-organization administration is available only to Enterprise and Elite editions. If you are a Business edition customer and want to access this feature, contact your Account Manager or Support.

Administrator roles

Only a Druva Cloud Administrator can enable the All Organizations menu on the Management Console. For more information, see Enable the All Organizations menu. After the menu is enabled, a Druva Cloud Administrator can create new organizations and Organization Administrators as per the business requirements, and assign Organization Administrators to specific organizations ensuring site access controls to the organizations. The Organization Administrator has complete control over the assigned organization but not over the other organizations.

When you enable the All Organizations menu, Druva creates a default organization, Default Organization. Druva Cloud Administrator can rename an organization as required.

Benefits of multi-organization administration

• Druva cloud administrators can use the All Organizations dashboard to get a unified view of the current status of the backup and restore status across workloads, top critical alerts, storage consumption, and savings across all your organizations. 
• Organization administrators has the site-access control of the entities and resources configured in their organizations.
• The Organization Administrator has complete control over the assigned organization but not over the other organizations.
• Druva cloud administrators can track the day-to-day backup and restore operations for all organizations.
• Druva cloud administrators can monitor the health status of workloads deployed on the premises and in the cloud for all organizations.
• Druva cloud administrators can generate reports to determine the storage consumed by specific teams, departments, or remote offices based on the organization, assign a dollar value to this storage usage, and forecast the budget.
• Druva cloud administrators can view alerts generated for all the workloads configured across various organizations.
• Druva cloud administrators can view all administrator data activities ensuring complete transparency, traceability, and accountability of all the administrators.

Use case

You need to identify the geographical locations of all your resources and based on that decide on the organizations that you need to create. You can also create different organizations for the departments that do not share any data. Similarly, you can create organizations for the entities within a corporation that need complete partitioning of their data and other configuration entities, such as backup policies, but need a common dashboard for storage usage and credit consumption across such entities.

For example, suppose Druva customer is a central IT organization, which provides backup and restore to several internal groups. Servers and policies belonging to each internal group are independently managed within an organization. Servers, administrative groups, and policies in one organization cannot be accessed in other organization. Also, an organization administrator can be assigned to each organization who has complete control over that particular organization but not to other organizations.
