13.4 Assigning Resource Groups to Organizations and Business Groups

Resource groups must be assigned to an organization in order for the organization’s business services to use those resources. After you assign resource groups to an organization, you or the Organization Manager can make them available to business groups within the organization.

The following steps assume that the resource groups you want to assign already exist. If they do not, see Creating, Modifying, and Deleting Resource Groups.

13.4.1 Assigning Resource Groups to an Organization

Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator

  1. On the main navigation bar, click Organizations.

  2. On the Organizations tab, select the target organization, then click Edit.

  3. Add the resource groups you want the organization to have access to:

    1. Under Membership and Access, click the Resource Groups tab.

    4. Click OK to add the selected resource groups to the Resource Groups list.

  4. Add the networks that you want the organization to have access to.

    The resource group’s networks are determined by its VM hosts.

    3. Select the networks to add.
