Creating an Organization and Configuring KooDrive

After enabling KooDrive, an enterprise tenant needs to create an organization on KooDrive. The HUAWEI ID of the enterprise tenant is automatically set as the system administrator and has all management permissions of the organization. This section describes how to create an organization and configure KooDrive.

The KooDrive configuration page cannot be accessed via Safari. In this case, use the latest version of a browser compatible with your device, such as Chrome.

Prerequisite

You have enabled KooDrive.

Procedure

  1. Create an organization.

    1. Sign in to the KooDrive console as an enterprise tenant.
    2. Click Settings. On the displayed page, click Create Organization.

      If you have created an organization before, the cloud space information of the organization is displayed.

      If there is no organization, the entry for creating an organization is displayed.

    3. On the displayed page, enter an organization name.

      A name contains 1 to 60 characters, including letters, digits, and special characters.

    4. Set the domain name of the organization.

      The domain name refers to the content following "www" in a website or "@" in an email address (for example, example.com in www.example.com or username@example.com).

      • If no domain name is available, you can enter the organization abbreviation. An abbreviation contains 2 to 30 characters, including letters, digits, periods (.), and hyphens (-), for example, abc. The abbreviation will be suffixed with .orgid.top.
        Figure 1 Setting the organization domain name

      • If a domain name is available, click Use your own domain name and enter the domain name, for example, example.com.
        Figure 2 Using your own domain name

      After the domain name is set, when the administrator creates a member, the managed HUAWEI ID of the member is suffixed with the domain name by default. For example, if the organization domain name is abc.orgid.top, a created member account will be xxx@abc.orgid.top. If the domain name is example.com, a created member account will be xxx@example.com.

      After the organization is created, KooDrive automatically creates a level-1 department using the name of the organization. All departments created later belong to this department.

  2. Check the storage space and number of users. Table 1 describes the parameters.
