Create an organization

Use the Organization Administration Console to create an organization or organizational unit for the site.

• Defining buyer organizations
  If we are running a business-to-business site, there can be one or more buyer organizations belonging to the site. After you have established which businesses will participate in a buying relationship with the site, you will have to create a buyer organization for each business. We can have as many buyer organizations as you need.

• Defining a seller organization
  Typically, the seller organization is the organization that owns one or more stores on a WebSphere Commerce site. The seller organization can also have sub-organizations, or divisions, which, in turn, can have one or more stores. For example, if you have a store that sells fashion merchandise, it might have a women's division and a men's division, each with separate, online stores.

• Creating a user
  Use the Organization Administration Console to create a user of any type other than registered customer.

• Changing a user
  Use the Organization Administration Console to change the details of a user, or to enable or disable a user account.
