Managing multiple organizations

Galigeo supports managing multiple independent organizations within a single instance. Each organization has its own configuration, users and data.

Enable multi-organization mode

  1. Log in to the Galigeo administration interface
  2. Go to Advanced parameters
  3. Enable the ORG_ENABLED parameter by setting it to true
  4. Restart Tomcat to apply the change

Create a new organization

To create an organization, simply create a new folder in the GALIGEO_HOME/orgs/ directory.

The folder name corresponds to the organization identifier (orgID).

GALIGEO_HOME/
└── orgs/
    ├── default/        # Default organization
    ├── org_paris/      # New organization
    └── org_lyon/       # New organization

note The default organization is created automatically during the Galigeo installation.

Log in to an organization

To log in to a specific organization, use the following format in the username field of the login page:

user@orgID

For example, to log in to the org_paris organization with the admin user:

admin@org_paris

Default organization users

Users declared in the default organization can log in to any child organization using the user@orgID syntax. This allows a central administrator to manage all organizations without having to create an account in each one.

note Special case: the Administrator account is local to each organization. Unlike other default organization users, it cannot log in to child organizations. Each organization has its own independent Administrator account.
