Create organizations

Required.

Typically, the cloud administrator creates the suborganizations of the root organization.

Then, assign resource quotas to each organization.

Create an organization

Assign quotas to organizations

Required.

Assign compute and storage AZs to each organization, and set resource quotas.

Make sure sufficient resources are available when you assign resource quotas to organizations. The system provisions a cloud service for an organization only if that organization has sufficient idle resource quotas.

Manage organization quotas

Create administrator roles

By default, the system has predefined the cloud administrator, organization administrator, common user, and auditor roles. You can add additional roles as needed for more granular user privilege control. For example, you can add a data administrator role.

Create user roles
