You use the organizations and roles interface to view and create organizations and roles and to assign user profiles to them. This section provides an overview of the interface and describes key elements.
(Note: For organizations, you can use either the Organizations and Roles interface shown here or the Organizations interface, which shows only organizations. See Viewing Organizations for more information.)
The following image shows the panels and other items that make up the Organizations and Roles interface:
The Browse tab displays an expandable tree of folders that contain all existing items of the type indicated by the Show menu. In this case, the tab displays all organizations and roles in the profile repository.
Three types of item can appear in this display:
Organizations
Global roles
Organizational roles
These items are identified by the following icons:
See the previous section for information on the differences between global and organizational roles.
The Search tab allows you to locate specific organizations or roles. See the ATG Business Control Center User's Guide for information on how to use it.
The Multi Edit tab gives you several ways to edit large numbers of organizations or roles. See the ATG Business Control Center User's Guide for more information.
The icons above the list of organizations and roles allow you to do the following:
Create a New item.
Move the selected item(s) to a different position in the tree.
Add the selected item(s) to the Multi Edit tab for batch editing.
Delete the selected item(s).
In all cases except Create New, you use the checkboxes in the Browse tab to select the items to which you want the icon action to apply. Use the checkbox in the icon toolbar to unselect all checked items.
The tabs that appear in the right pane vary according to the type of item selected in the list. For information, see the section that describes how to create an item of that type.
The Save and Revert buttons allow you to preserve or undo any changes you make to this item. Note: When you start creating a new organization or role, Create and Cancel buttons appear instead of Save and Revert.
