Viewing and deleting organizations

View the organization list and delete organizations in CourseMill.

In CourseMill, an organization is a logical grouping of students, instructors, and courses. Use this article to view the list of organizations and to delete an organization.

An organization can be a company, a factory, or a group. A typical company consists of one or more organizations. The larger the company or group, the more organizations it will normally have. Global administrators can manage all currently defined organizations. Administrators with restricted access can manage only the organization to which they are restricted.

When you add an organization, you define the organization's infrastructure by specifying the sub-levels of the organization, called SubOrgs. You can categorize users based on any attribute of your company's infrastructure. For example, a simple scenario would define SubOrg attributes by Site, Department, and Manager. You can define up to 16 SubOrg attributes. You would then set the values for each SubOrg attribute to complete your structure definition:

  • SubOrg 0 – Sample definition: Site. Sample values: Cincinnati, Boca Raton, Tahoe.
  • SubOrg 1 – Sample definition: Department. Sample values: Development, Test, Documentation.
  • SubOrg 2 – Sample definition: Manager. Sample values: Smith, Jones, Johnson, Jackson, Johnston, White.

After you have added the organization and set the SubOrg values for each SubOrg attribute, you can manage your administrators, add organization-wide resources, and manage organization notifications.

View the list of organizations

The organization list shows the currently defined organizations, along with a short description of each. For global administrators, all organizations are displayed. Administrators who are restricted to a single organization see only that organization in the list. The list can be sorted by the organization ID and description. You can also edit organization details, set SubOrg values, and delete organizations from the list.

  1. Open the Admin Tasks side-tab and click Manage Orgs. Each row in the table represents a currently defined organization. The organizations are alphabetically listed by their Org ID.
  2. Click the Description column heading to re-sort the table alphabetically by the description.
  3. Use the fields in the Search box to filter the list of organizations.

Search fields

  • Org ID – Org ID with which an organization was added.
  • Description – Enter any combination of letters and numbers to search for any administrators that contain that combination in the description.

Delete an Organization

Administrators with global administrator access can delete an organization.

  1. Click the Manage Organizations link on the Home Page. The Manage Organizations window opens.
  2. Select the organization and click Delete. Alternatively, select the organization, right-click on the table, and select Delete. The organization is removed from the organizations list.

Note: When you delete an organization, all users in the organization are deleted, along with the curriculums, courses, and notifications associated with the organization.
