2.4 Configuring organization

The automation uses AWX, an OSS.
The system administrator must create an organization in advance to use AWX and assign Ops I users to the organization. The users must also be assigned the Ops I role to access AWX. For information on the Ops I roles, see “Correspondence between roles and support functions in Ops I”.

Organizations are not linked with Ops I customers or user groups, but are the unit for managing all resources together, including AWX job templates, projects, and inventories.
The organization administrator assigns roles to users belonging to the organization for the resources in the organization according to the user’s work. These roles are different from the Ops I roles. For example, for job templates, only users who belong to the organization associated with job templates can access them, and only users with the role allowed to launch job templates can launch job templates. Thus, an organization is created for each location, system, or business unit to control access to AWX resources for each user.

For details on organizational roles in AWX, see the AWX manual. For information on the AWX manuals, versions, and editions, see “OSS version/edition and reference manuals” in APPENDIX. For information on creating an organization and assigning each role, see “Organization management”.
