The UCS organizational structure provides hierarchical configuration of the UCS resources. An organization can be created for policies, pools, and service profiles. The default organization for each category is root. Based on the requirement, multiple sub-organizations can be created under the root organization. It is also possible to create a nested sub-organization under another sub-organization. The hierarchical configuration into sub-organizations has the following benefits:

• Role-based Access Control (RBAC): For large setups, it is often necessary to delegate operational management to a team of professionals, and often with limited level of access to the resource, according to the role of the individual. Creating a sub-organization and mapping appropriate user roles provides excellent security privileges and nonrepudiation.
• Multitenancy: For service providers, a sub-organization's configuration provides the logical access isolation for the various clients who are sharing the physical UCS components. Unique resources to each tenant can be assigned related to the organizational structure. Combined with the RBAC configuration, a tenant's access privileges can be restricted to their organization only.

Please perform the following procedure for creating a sub-organization under Pools. The procedure for creating sub-organizations under the navigation pane is similar, and once a sub-organization is created under any tab, it will be available under all categories and resources:

1. Log in to UCS Manager.
2. Click on the Servers tab in the navigation pane.
3. On the Servers tab click on Pools to expand its content.
4. Right-click on root under Pools and click on Create Organization:

5. In the pop-up window, provide a Name and Description to the new organization and click on OK:

6. The new sub-organization will be created under the root organization.
