organization, you will still have access to hosts because you still belong to the onlyHosts organization.

Keep in mind the following:

•You cannot remove the Everything organization, which is the default organization.

•Only users belonging to the Domain Administrator role can delete organizations.

•You cannot delete an organization that contains a user who belongs to no other organizations. For example, assume you create an organization named Org1 that contains two users: User1 and User2. User1 belongs to two other organizations, while User2 only belongs to the organization you just created. You will not be able to delete Org1 because the organization contains User2, who only belongs to the organization you are trying to delete.

To delete an organization:

1.Click Security > Organizations.

2.Click the Delete ()button corresponding to the organization you want to remove. The software removes the organization.

Removing Members from an Organization

When you remove an element from an organization, users belonging to that organization or to one of its parents can no longer access that element if it is not a member of any other organization. For example, assume an element named MyHost was not only a member of BostonWebHost_Solaris, but also had mistakenly became a member of BostonWebHost_Windows. If you remove MyHost from BostonWebHost_Solaris, users belonging to BostonWebHost_Solaris can no longer access the element. Users belonging to the BostonWebHost_Windows organization or to its parent would still see the element.

Use one of the following methods to remove an element from an organization:

•In the Edit Organization window, click the Delete () button corresponding to the element or child organization you want to remove from the organization.

•In the Add or Remove Organization Members window, select the element or child organization you want to remove by clicking the appropriate check box, and then click Remove.

•Only users belonging to the Domain Administrator role can remove members from an organization.

Filtering Organizations

The management server provides a filtering feature that lets you designate which organizations are active in your view. For example, assume you belong to an organization name Hosts and this organization contains two organizations: WindowsHosts and SolarisHosts. If you want to view elements only in WindowsHosts and not in SolarisHosts organizations, you could use the filtering feature to activate only the WindowsHosts organization.
