With the concept of Organizations the PowerFolder Server is able to offer multi-tenancy. The PowerFolder Server Administrator can create an Organization to seal groups of users off from each other. Those users will only see other users of their Organization. User ManagementThere are two kinds of users within an Organization: - Administrative Users
- Normal Users
The Administrative Users are able to see more detailed information about the Organization, e. g. the number of users or the used storage space. In addition, they are also able to create Normal Users within an Organization and assign them storage from the storage space the Organization possesses. Furthermore, they can also create Folders which they can assign to specific Normal Users within the Organization.
Normal Users are either created by Administrative Users in the Organization or by the admin in PowerFolder Server, which then are assigned to an organization. The storage space of the Normal Users consist from the storage space the Organization possesses, for example if the storage space of an organization is fully divided between Normal Users then the Administrative Users are unable to create Normal Users since the storage space has already been used. Creating / Managing User AccountsJust press the Plus button  and enter the information of the new user account.  Image Added
