Organization names must be unique within Data Director. Organizations cannot be nested.
Organization roles, policies, and templates apply only within that organization. Resources allocated to an
organization are reserved for that organization and cannot be shared among multiple organizations, whether
in Global or By Organization mode. This restriction enhances security and ensures resource isolation among
organizations.
See Chapter 2, “Managing Data Director Resources,” on page 15 for details about resource management in
Data Director.
