Figure 3 Children in Multiple Organizations
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 following organizations would still see the element because the
element is still a member of BostonWebHost_Windows.
• BostonWebHosts
• WebHosts
• US East Coast
Keep in mind the following:
• You cannot edit the Everything organization.
• If you don't want users to have access to all elements, remove them from the Everything
organization.
• Users can access information about all elements from security pages. For example, if a user is
assigned to an organization that has access to only hosts, the user can still see information
relating to storage systems on the security pages. accessible from the SE Home page
• Because generic elements cannot be placed into organizations, they do not appear unless the
user belongs to the Everything organization. You can tell if an element is generic by
double-clicking the element in System Manager and then clicking the Properties tab. Look for its
description on this page. For example, if it is listed as “Generic Host” the element is a generic
host.
• Discovery lists in HP SE (Discovery tab on the SE Home page) are not filtered. Users can see all
elements in the discovery lists regardless of their affiliation with an organization.
• Event Manager displays events from all elements regardless of the user’s organization.
