Tips   View and manage organizations

An asterisk (*) indicates that data is from a different partition and is therefore read-only.

Access to create and edit organizations depends on the permissions assigned to you and whether you are in view or edit mode. If you do not have read or edit permission for a particular organization, you may still see the organization listed in search results and choosers. However, you cannot view details for that organization. If you try to view or edit organization details without the proper object-level permissions, an error message is displayed.

In the default configuration, the permissions required to access workspaces and tasks are defined in the workspace configuration files; and the access permissions required to view, create, edit, copy, delete, and export organizations are defined in the object manager configuration files. Permissions can be customized, including setting object-level read and edit permission. For more information, see the Ariba Buyer Administrator Customization Guide.
