Cloud Manager enables you to provide Cloud services to multiple tenants, referred to as organizations, at one time. As the service provider, you assign the resources that an organization can use for its business services. These resources might be dedicated to a single organization or shared among multiple organizations, depending on your business model and customer requirements.
Within an organization, members of the organization are assigned roles that let them control and monitor the deployment of business services for their organization. Some members might have rights to request business services, some to approve or deny business service requests, some to control organization membership, and some to create business groups (organization subunits) and allocate organization resources to the business groups.
Depending on the scope of your Cloud services, an organization can represent different units. For example, if you are a public service provider, each organization would most likely represent a company. However, if you are an enterprise IT department, an organization might represent your company or a single department or cost center within your company.
