Working in an Organization 4
Most operations in Cloud Director occur in an organization. The system administrator creates the organization
and assigns an organization administrator to it.
The system administrator emails the URL of the organization to the organization administrator, who can log
in to the organization and set it up. In the Home page the organization administrator clicks the Set up the
Organization link to assign resources and manage a variety of operations on the organization.

Set Up an Organization
After you receive the URL of your organization from the system administrator, you must set it up. On the
Cloud Director Home page, click Set up this organization.
You are an organization administrator.
Procedure
1 Change the Organization Full Name on page 26
You can change the full name of an organization. This name appears in the Cloud Director application
header when users log in.
2 Add Local Users to the Organization on page 26
Every organization should have at least one local, non-LDAP, organization administrator account, so
that user can log in even if the LDAP service is unavailable.
