Managing Organizations

An administrator can organize and manage the workload of the tenant by using organizations. The administrator can assign accounts and users to the specific organization. Assigning a user to an organization limits the visibility and permissions of the user to the specific organization. Similarly, when you allocate an account to an organization the resources associated with the account are visible only to that organization and tenant. The exceptions, resource pools, and notifications created for the organization are applicable only for that organization. They are only visible when the user is associated to organization or is logged in as the tenant.

To manage the organizations created in BMC Helix Cloud Cost, select the  Configure  icon > Organizations. The Organizations page is displayed. The page lists the available parent and child Organizations. The list of associated accounts and users is displayed for each Organization. You can also update the accounts and users associated with the Organization from this page.  

Adding an organization

When you register a user in BMC Helix Cloud Cost, an Organization is created by default with the name of the Tenant. You can create sub-organizations from this parent organization.  

1. From the Organizations page, select an organization name.
2. Click Create Organization. 
3. Enter the name of Sub-Organization that you want to create and click  Create to add the sub-organization to the list of organizations. 

Only one level of sub-organization is supported. Therefore, the hierarchy displays one tenant organization and one or multiple sub-organizations below the parent organization.
