You can add or edit up to 50 organizations on a single KACE SMA.
When you add organizations, you need to assign them Organization Roles. You can use the Default Role, but if you want to use a custom Organization Role, add that role before you add the organization. See Add or edit Organization Roles.

A file-size filter for the organization's Client Drop location. The Client Drop location is a storage area (Samba share) for the organization on the KACE SMA. This storage area is used to upload large files, such as application installers and appliance backup files, to the appliance. Uploading files to the Client Drop location is an alternative to uploading files through the Administrator Console using the default HTTP mechanism, which can result in browser timeouts for large files. The Client Drop Size filter determines whether files uploaded to the organization's Client Drop location are displayed on the Upload and Associate Client Drop File list on the Software Detail page. For example, if the Client Drop Size filter is set to 1 GB, the Upload and Associate Client Drop File list shows files that are 1 GB in size or larger. Files that are less than 1 GB in size are not displayed on the list. Application files are moved from the organization's Client Drop location to the appropriate area when the file is selected on the Software Detail page and saved. Appliance backup files that are placed in the Client Drop location are automatically identified as appliance backup files, and they become available for selection on the Backup Settings page within five minutes. If you have multiple organizations, each organization has its own Client Drop location and Client Drop Size filter setting. See Copy files to the KACE SMA Client Drop location. | |||
The filters you want to use to assign new devices to the organization when devices check in to the appliance. To select multiple filters, use Ctrl-click or Command-click. | |||

To save disk space, and enable faster Agent communication, disable Agent Logging. | ||

The organization is added. If fast switching is enabled, and the default admin account passwords for the System and for your organizations are the same, you can switch between organizations and the System using the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. To see new organizations in the list, you need to log out of the Administrator Console and then log back in. In addition, if the option to require organization selection at login is enabled at the System level, the organization is available in the drop-down list on the Administrator Console login page, http://KACE SMA_hostname/admin, where KACE SMA_hostname is the hostname of your appliance.
NOTE: For new organizations, the password for the default admin account is the same as the password for the default admin account at the System level. This is assigned automatically. To change the admin account password, edit the admin user account.
NOTE: However, be aware that organizations with different admin account passwords are not available for fast switching using the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. |
