Creating and Managing Organizations
When a Windchill solution is created, an organization participant is created and associated with the site context. The default data loading process creates an initial organization context, also associated with the organization participant. Both the site and this initial organization have the same name. If the data loading process was modified so that the organization context is not created, you must create an organization context before users access the solution.
Users who have an organization attribute (the "o" attribute, by default) on their directory service entry that matches the organization participant’s name automatically become members of that organization. If your site does not use the organization attribute in the directory service entry, users can be assigned to an organization using the usersOrganizationName property. For more information on using this property, see Configuring Additional Enterprise Directories.
Organization contexts are created by site administrators from Organizations . For more information, see Creating an Organization Context.

Site administrator users, such as wcadmin, should not be used to create contexts (products, libraries, projects, or programs) within organization contexts, nor should they create objects within those contexts.
The site administrator can review the list of organizations in the site and navigate to update each of the organizations from the Organizations page, accessed by clicking the View All link on Organizations . (The Organization page is visible only to site administrators.) A company will probably choose to administer the organizations representing their partners or customers. In this way, you become the organization administrator on behalf of any number of organizations defined in the site.
