Organisation items represent the managed organisation's organisational units in Miradore Management Suite. For example, you might want to create Organisation items for your organisation's Sales, Research & Development, Management, or some other departments depending on what kind of intentions you have in mind for managing the IT resources of different organisational units.
Some examples of the benefits that are gained when users and asset configuration items are bound to organisation items in Miradore Management Suite.
You can generate organization-specific reports. For example, you can see what devices are assigned to a certain organisation.
Different departments may have different software needs, and with the organisation items, you can configure initial installation settings, including default installation packages, separately for each organisational unit. For example, the people working in Management most likely need very different software in their computers that the people at the Research & Development department. What you need to do is just to attach installation packages to organisation items, and the users who are working in that organisation will get the assigned software automatically installed to their computers during initial installation.
Organisation item can be also widely used in scope controls throughout Miradore in order to define many kind of settings, permissions etc. for different users and automated actions. One example is the scope control that is used to define which users are allowed to access Self-service portal at their computers. You can, for example, set that only people who belong to certain organisation are allowed to access the Self-service portal. Similarly, you can use the organisation as filter when defining what computers should be backed up with Miradore's endpoint backup feature etc.
You can choose a default Offline Domain Join connector for each Organisation item. The selected ODJ connector defines the Active Directory domain where the assets in this organisation are joined if "Miradore Offline Domain Join~1" package is included in their initial installation.
The organisations can be arranged into hierarchy. There are no limitations of the depth of a organisation hierarchy. The child organisations inherit by default the settings from the parent level. In case the same setting is defined in both child and parent organisation, the child setting overwrites. In case packages are defined on both child and parent levels then all the packages are installed in bottom-up order.
