Open the Organization Administration Console

The Organization Administration Console allows you, and buyer administrators, to control the organizations that access the site or store.

Home page menus are displayed on user roles and authority levels defined in XML files. These roles and levels are assigned by the Site Administrator by using the Administration Console.

To return to the Organization Administration Console home page, click the Home link at the top right of the screen.

Note: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, Administration Console and Organization Administration Console are compatible with Internet Explorer 10 and 11, only when Internet Explorer is run in Compatibility Mode.
