Organization user management

Organization user management

Advanced management features are available when using organizations. An Organization and Organizational Units can be created in the Organization portal and are used to enhance your company's security.

IAM users, user groups, and so on can be created and associated with Organizational Units and OU accounts with the proper permissions. If you are using OUs to organize your company, you will need to create permission profiles that reflect this hierarchy so that the necessary users, user groups, and roles can be assigned.

For more information on the Organization portal, see the Organization Portal Administration Guide.

Note

An IAM administrative user must be created to manage IAM users for the Organization's OUs. The IAM administrative user must have the user type as Organization and permissions for the IAM portal. See Overview of creating and managing Organizations in the Organization Portal guide.
