Set Up an Organization
After you receive the URL of your organization from the system administrator, you must set it up. On the
vCloud Director Home page, click Set up this organization.
You are an organization administrator.
Procedure
1 Change the Organization Full Name on page 38
You can change the full name of an organization. This name appears in the Cloud Director application
header when users log in.
2 Import LDAP Users and Groups on page 38
You can add users and groups from an LDAP server to the organization and assign them a role within
the organization.
3 Add Local Users to the Organization on page 39
Every organization should have at least one local, non-LDAP, organization administrator account, so
that users can log in even if the LDAP service is unavailable.
4 Configure Email Preferences on page 39
vCloud Director requires an SMTP server to send user notification and system alert emails. An
organization can use the system email settings or use its own email settings.
5 Configure Organization Lease, Quota, and Limit Settings on page 40
Leases, quotas, and limits constrain the ability of organization users to consume storage and processing
resources. Use these settings to prevent users from depleting or monopolizing an organization's
resources.
