Associating Organizations with Accounts

You can associate organizations with user accounts. Organizations, such as schools or universities, purchase licenses to products to which users can subscribe.

To add an organization:

1. Click Add.
2. In the Name box, enter the display name of the organization. As you type, a list of suggested results appears below the box.

   A limited number of the most relevant organization results appear. Descriptive text, such as the location, accompanies each suggested result. The total number of results is indicated below the organization type filters. You can click more results to display all of them.

   If you see the organization you want, select it. If you do not see the result you want, search for an organization. If you want to, you can browse more levels in the organization's hierarchy.

   Tip: To filter the suggested results, click one of the organization types below the list. For example, if you click Universities, only organizations associated with universities appear in the list. To display all the results, regardless of organization type, click All. To clear the list of suggested results, press Esc.

3. If you are associating an organization with a user and the Role list appears, select your primary role within the organization. For example, if you are a professor at a university who also takes continuing education classes at the university, select Teacher.
4. To add the organization you identified, click Add.

   Note: You can associate several different organizations with a user, but not the same organization with different roles.

5. To add another organization, click Add.
6. To remove an organization, click .
