TouchCast Fabric Portal: Organizations & Departments for Enterprise Customers

In Fabric, an organization represents the first and the highest level of organizing users and content (files, etc.). An organization can have multiple departments, but initially, it has a single department.  The organization owner or designated administrator(s) may add additional departments.

Organization types:

Enterprise - this type is meant for enterprise companies (organizations with a large number of employees), typically companies that have signed a master agreement with TouchCast. These companies have a dedicated account manager from TouchCast and this should be reflected in the organization entity profile. The account manager can take an existing inactive organization and activate it into an enterprise one and assign himself/herself as the account manager.

Education - this type is meant for schools and universities.

Other - this type is meant for everything else that doesn’t fit any of the types described above.
