Managing Organizations 4
The basic component of Data Director is the organization. Data Director system administrators create
organizations, assign the initial organization administrator, and allocate resources to the organization.

Organization Structure
The structure of organizations depends on the operating mode: Global mode or By Organization mode.
Global Mode
In Global mode, all users in the Data Director system are visible to all
organizations. Global mode is best for operating Data Director for a single
enterprise in which organizations represent business units or departments
within the enterprise. Organization administrators can see the global user list
and grant access to any user to their organization.
By Organization Mode
In By Organization mode, Data Director operates as a service and each
organization is a distinct enterprise. Organizations are not visible to each other
in By Organization mode. Each organization has its own distinct user list that
is not visible to any other organization. Users must either send a request to
register to an organization and be approved by the organization administrator,
or the organization administrator can invite a user to join the organization.
Organizations contain one or more database groups (DBGs) that in turn contain one or more databases, as
shown in the following figure.
