Add Local Users to the Organization
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.
Procedure
1 Click Add.
2 Type a user name and password.
3 Assign a role to the user.
4 Type the contact information for the user.
5 Specify a user quota for stored and running virtual machines and click OK.
These quotas limit the user's ability to consume storage and compute resources in the organization.
6 Click Next.
Set the Organization Catalog Publishing Policy
A catalog provides organization users with a library of vApp templates and media that they can use to create
vApps and install applications on virtual machines.
Generally, catalogs should only be available to users in a single organization, but a system administrator can
allow the organization administrator to publish their catalogs to all organizations in the Cloud Director
installation.
Procedure
1 Select a catalog publishing option.
Option Description
Cannot publish catalogs
The organization administrator cannot publish catalogs for users outside of
the organization.
Allow publishing catalogs to all
organizations
The organization administrator can publish catalogs for users in all
organizations.
2 Click Next.
