Create an organization

Organizations are collections of services, users, and resources that can be accessed and managed using FactoryTalk Hub. An organization should be as large as can be easily managed in order to maximixe economies of scale and reduce data silos.
Create an organization on your first sign-in, or from the menu at any time.
NOTE: The user who creates an organization is the owner for that organization.
Organizations:
  • can be as large as can be easily managed
  • define how data and entitlements are shared by users
  • can be public or private
  • cannot be merged or deleted once created
    NOTE: Users cannot remove themselves from the organization but owners or administrators can remove others. An administrator cannot remove access from the owner.
