Managing Organization Resources
vCloud Director organizations obtain their resources for one or more organization vDCs. If an organization
needs more resources, you can add a new organization vDC or modify an existing organization vDC. You can
take resources away from an organization by removing or modifying an organization vDC.
For more information about adding an organization vDC, see “Create an Organization vDC,” on page 52.
For information about removing an organization vDC, see “Delete an Organization vDC,” on page 61.
For information about modifying the resources available to an existing organization vDC, see “Edit
Organization vDC Allocation Model Settings,” on page 62, and “Edit Organization vDC Storage Settings,” on
page 62.
Managing Organization Users and Groups
When you create an organization, you can add one or more local users to the organization. After you create
the organization, you, or an organization administrator, can add local users, LDAP users, and LDAP groups
to the organization.
For more information about adding users and groups to an organization, see the VMware vCloud Director User's
Guide.
Managing Organization vApps and Virtual Machines
Some tasks related to managing organization vApps and virtual machines can only be performed by a system
administrator. For example, system administrators can add vSphere virtual machines to an existing vApp,
create a vApp based on a vSphere virtual machine, and place a vApp in maintenance mode.
For more information about working with vApps in an organization, see the VMware vCloud Director User's
Guide.
