Creating Organizations

Creating an Organization typically happens when you register—an organization is set up under the same name as your username.

However, there are times when creating a new Organization makes sense, such as for a company name, where multiple users from the same company use DaDesktop.

NB: Creating an Organization is a feature available only to Super Admins.

Creating Organizations in DaDesktop

There are two ways to create an Organization. The default method creates an organization owner account at the same time. The second method doesn’t require a new owner account—useful when one already exists.

Creating an Organization and its owner user account

• You need the account owner’s email address, a password, and their first and last names. Roles can be chosen as needed. The currency is set based on the portal—dadesktop.com defaults to EUR, while dadesktop.cn uses CNY.
• An Organization name and a short code are also required. The code can’t be changed once it’s set.
• The Allowing course recordings and publishing course recordings settings apply to all recordings across the organization. The Receiving Promotional Emails setting is similarly organization-wide.
• The ‘Allow Recordings’ option controls whether Recordings are available across the entire organization.
• Private servers can be selected if needed. Note that a server must first be marked as ‘Private’ before it appears here.
