Managing Security164
The s column provides the total number of elements assigned to an organization, not including those
within the child organization. An organization containing only child organizations displays 0 under
the column; however, users assigned to that organization would have access to the elements
assigned to its child organizations.
Access the Setup Organizations page by clicking Security > Organizations in Storage Essentials.
You can access information about child organizations by clicking their link under the Child
Organization column.
Editing Organizations
See the topic, ”About the Security for the Management Server” on page 147 for more information
about roles and organizations.
When elements are removed from an organization, users belonging only to that organization are no
longer able to access the removed elements.
Keep in mind the following:
• 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).
• Only users belonging to the Domain Administrator role can edit organizations. Only active
organizations can be edited.
• 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.
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 name of an organization has the following requirements:

• Cannot be longer than 256 characters.
• Cannot contain the carot (^) symbol—currently the system allows the carot symbol to be

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.
