•Depending on your license, role-based security may not be available. See the “List of Features” to determine if you have access to role-based security. The “List of Features” is accessible from the Documentation Center (Help > Documentation Center in Storage Essentials).

•The Name and Description fields in the Edit Organization window do not accept special characters, except spaces and the following characters: $, -, ., and _

•The organization name can contain spaces, but it cannot be longer than 256 characters.

•You cannot edit the Everything organization.

•When adding a child to an organization, do not add the organization's parent as a child. For example, assume you created an organization named Child1, which is contained in a parent organization named Parent1. When you are adding child organizations to Child1, do not select Parent1, as this creates a loop.

To edit an organization:

1.Access Storage Essentials through one of the menu options, such as Options > Storage Essentials > Email Settings.

2.In the upper-right corner, select Security > Roles.

3.Click the button.

4.To change the name of the organization, type a new name in the Name field.

The organization name can contain spaces, but it cannot be longer than 256 characters and it cannot contain the carot ( ^) symbol.

5.To change the description of the organization, type a new description in the Description field. You cannot type more than 1024 characters in the Description field.

6.Click the Add or Remove Elements button.

7.Add and remove elements as described in the topics, ”Adding an Organization” on page 139 and ”Removing Members from an Organization” on page 142.

8.Once you are done adding or removing elements, click OK in the Add Organization page.

9.In the Edit Organization page, click OK.

Deleting an Organization

When an organization is removed, users assigned only to that organization are no longer able to access the elements in the removed organization. For example, assume you belong to two organizations, onlyHosts and onlySwitchesandHosts. The organization onlyHosts contains only hosts, and the organization onlySwitchesandHosts contains only switches and hosts. If you delete the onlySwitchesandHosts 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.

•You can only remove organizations with no users.
