When you sign up to BlueXP, you're prompted to create a new organization. The organization includes one member (an Organization admin) and one default project. To set up BlueXP identity and access management (IAM) to meet your business needs, you'll need to customize your organization's hierarchy, add additional members, add or discover resources, and associate those resources across your hierarchy.
You must have Organization admin permissions to administer the entire organization from BlueXP IAM. If you have Folder or project admin permissions, you can only administer the folders and projects for which you have permissions.
Follow these steps to set up a new BlueXP organization. The order in which you complete these steps might be different, depending on your organization's needs.
Edit the default project or add to your organization's hierarchyUse the default project or create additional projects and folders matching your business hierarchy.
Associate members with your organizationIf multiple people in your business need access to BlueXP, associate their user accounts with your organization and assign the necessary permissions. You also have the option to add service accounts to your organization.
Add or discover resourcesAdd or discover resources in BlueXP as the working environments. Organization members manage a working environment, which represents a storage system, from within a project.
Learn how to create or discover resources:
Associate resources with additional projectsWhen you create or discover a resource in BlueXP, that resource is automatically associated with the project that was selected when you created or discovered the working environment. If you want to make that resource available to another project in your organization, then you'll need to create an association between them. If a Connector manages the resource, associate the Connector with the respective project.S
