The root organization is defined when you install and configure Enterprise Portal and Enterprise Security. You can create suborganizations to mirror the organizational structure of your enterprise. Enterprise Portal does not limit the number of suborganizations or the number of organizational levels. However, there can be only one root organization.
The root organization is where you create and administer your enterprise’s users, groups, roles, and portal assets. An asset can be a document, database information, another computer system, an application, or any other object within the enterprise’s computer systems.
The process of implementing access control involves selecting an asset, selecting a role with access permissions to perform operations on that asset, then granting the role to specific users or groups to accomplish authorization.
Typical access permissions include read, write, update, create, and delete. A permission can also give a user the right to start or stop an application or to access a back-end system.
