Windchill Organizations
Categorizing users by organization provides an additional way in which you can identify a set of participants by name. Windchill manages Windchill objects within each organization context and users affiliated with an organization can be given access to objects created from within an organization context.
An organization can be a company, company division, university, or some other list of people. Organization membership is defined by user directory entries that include the organization name defined for the organization object. For example, if the organization name is DIV1, then all users in the configured directory services who have their organization attribute (o, by default) set to DIV1 are members of the DIV1 organization.
Organization participants are associated with the context in which they are created. From the Participant Administration utility, you only have access to the organization participants created in the current context or in the site context. Organization participants are used to define organization identifiers (such as CAGE codes or DUNS numbers), context ownership, and suppliers for supplier management activities.
Each Windchill organization participant holds the organization name, the Windchill domain of the organization, and administrative flag that is set if the participant is disabled.
