Internal Organizations
Creating Internal Organizations
If you haven’t modified the access control rules for the User domain, this step
may not be needed.
• Use the Principal Administrator to update the Unrestricted Organizations
group that is in the User domain to remove the organization (if it is present).
Note: When creating an organization object through Principal Administrator,
the organization is not automatically added to the Unrestricted Organizations.
When a Windchill solution is installed and an organization container is created,
then this organization automatically owns the parts and documents that are created
under the organization context. In Windchill PDMLink and Windchill
ProjectLink, you can also create additional organization contexts under which
parts and documents can be automatically owned.
To change the out-of-the-box functionality so that a user who creates a part or
document can specify which organization owns the part or document, you must do
the following things:
• Create or update organization objects so that they can be used as internal
organizations as described in the next section.
An internal organization is identified by an internationally coded number that
is assigned when the organization registers with a specific site. For site
registration information, see the Registration Authority.
Note: You cannot create an internal organization for a specific organization
if the organization is not registered.
• Set properties in the wt.properties file, as described in Setting Internal
Organization Properties.
• Configure the container where the parts or documents will reside so that the
user enters the part or document number (rather than having the numbers
auto-generated). How to turn off autonumbering is described in the Object
Initialization Rules help that is accessible from the Object Initialization Rules
Administrator. For information about the Object Initialization Rules
Administrator, the Windchill Business Administrator’s Guide.
Use the Principal Administrator to create an new organization object or update an
existing organization object to include the following attributes on the object:
• The Organization ID Type indicates the type of organization identifier that
is specified for the Organization ID. Select the type from the drop-down list
By default, the drop-down list contains CAGE, DUNS, and ISO6523.
