  3. Sign in as the new administrator in the organization, and add users, folders, and files to the new organization.

Determining when multiple Organizations are required:

Create multiple Organizations when you want to pool resources with other, similar companies or resell MOVEit Transfer services. For example:

• Standard Bank Services purchases MOVEit Transfer to provide secure data transport and collection services to three member banks. Standard Bank Services wants to prevent any bank from accessing the information that any of the other banks have collected. Each of the three banks is a MOVEit Transfer organization.
• The Standard Auto Manufacturer company purchases MOVEit Transfer to exchange sensitive purchase orders, price sheets and other information with its suppliers. The company wants to prevent any supplier from accessing the information that other supplier is exchanging with Standard Auto Manufacturer. Standard Auto Manufacturer has only one MOVEit Transfer organization. Each of its suppliers is a user within the single organization.

Setup and Maintenance

Only SysAdmins can add or delete Organizations. Both SysAdmins and Administrators can configure Organizations, but some information, such as Name, Minimum SSL Strength, can only be configured by SysAdmins.
