Organization Management

Scenarios

Organizations are used to isolate image repositories. Each organization is typically scoped to one company or department, enabling centralized and efficient image management. An image name needs to be unique within an organization. The same IAM user can access different organizations as long as the user has sufficient permissions, as shown in Figure 1.

You can grant read, edit, or manage permissions to IAM users under the same account. For details, see Granting Permissions for Images.

Creating an Organization

To manage container images in SWR, you need to create one or more organizations to store images of different teams or projects.

Notes and Constraints

  • The organization name must be unique in the current region. If a message is displayed indicating that the organization already exists, the organization name may have been used by another user. Use another organization name.
  • A user can create organizations only after being assigned with the SWR Admin or Tenant Administrator policy in IAM.
  • The organization name cannot be library, which is reserved for the system.

Procedure

You can create organizations based on the organizational structure of your enterprise to facilitate image resource management. Create an organization before pushing an image.

  1. Log in to the SWR console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner to select the target region and project.
  3. Choose Organizations in the navigation pane.
