Enable and disable organizations

The availability of the enable/disable organization feature is limited to Enterprise and Elite editions. To access this feature, contact your Account Manager or Support. This article/documentation is subject to change based on the continuous improvements to this feature.

Do you have a single organization configured in your Hybrid Workloads (Phoenix) account? If yes, then you can now choose to disable the All Organizations menu on the Management Console. This helps to dissociate from the concept of multiple organizations and provide a simplified, single-layer view to deploy and monitor your workloads.
By disabling organizations, you can access the protected workloads directly without first selecting an organization on the Management Console. If you wish to create more organizations/sites in the future, you can always enable organizations.

Roles

Only a Cloud Administrator can enable/disable organizations.

New customers will not have any organization unless it is explicitly enabled, as shown in the following figure:

Existing customers with organizations can disable it after all the predefined criteria are met, as shown in the following figure. For more information on pre-defined criteria, see Disabling organizations.

The following graphic displays the overall flow for new and existing customers:

Note:

  • When an organization is disabled, only Administrative groups and Group Administrators will be present. Group administrators manages the Administrative groups and are essential for RBAC purposes.
  • Only a Cloud Administrator can create a Group Administrator. For more information, see Creating a Group Administrator.
  • Organization Administrators are not present when organization is disabled.

Views

If you are an existing customer with a single organization in your account, then the organization is enabled by default. However, you can switch to a view with no organizations by disabling the organization. For more information, see Disabling organization.

If you are a new customer with a single organization in your account, then the organization is disabled by default. However, if required, you can switch to the organization view by enabling the organization and adding more organizations. For more information, see Enabling organization.

No organization view
