Create an Organization
The Data Director hierarchy consists of organizations, each with its own discrete database groups and
databases. You create organizations to allow organization administrators independent management of their
database groups and databases.
Prerequisites
Create one or more resource bundles to allocate to the organization. See “Create a Resource Bundle,” on
page 17.
Procedure
1 Retrieve the available administrator IDs so you can use the ID to specify the administrator for the
organization.
GET https://example.aurora.com/datadirector/api/users
2 Make an HTTP POST call to create the organization.
POST https://example.aurora.com/datadirector/api/orgs
{
"adminId": 1,
"name": "AuroraOrg"
}
The response that the system returns might look as follows.
