Setting Up Organizations and Organization Skills

---

Setting up organizations is an optional step in an implementation. If you don't set up additional organizations, you will automatically have everything assigned to a default organization. Having one organization is like having no organization. There is no impact on visibility and data access.

Because NREC is using Partner Portal, it will set up one parent organization called NREC and then a child organization for each of its partner real estate agencies. This structure will allow NREC to logically group these different user groups and partition data accordingly.

Initially NREC creates the NREC organization. Then after the rest of the company structure is set up—positions, responsibilities, and so on—NREC will use Siebel Partner manager to set up partners and promote them to organizations with NREC as the parent organization. See Registering Partners and Creating Partner Organizations.

For more information on organizations and company structure, see Applications Administration Guide.
