Movius for BlackBerry Installation for MultiLine Admins

Read this guide to learn how to set up your MultiLine organizations in the Management Portal. 


Overview

This article is intended for administrators that are overseeing or participating in the initial setup of Management Portal. 

Part 1: Set up Organization

Step 1 - Manage organizations

Read on to learn how to create, edit, or delete organizations. 

Overview

Organizations contain your user and admin accounts.

You can set up the MMP to reflect your organizational structure where you can create an organization (root node) with the name of your Enterprise. Each node or branch of the tree represents a department. Each department can have its own administrator with well-defined roles and privileges. 

Consider the example below:

Graphic depicting organization hierarchy. "ABC Banking Corporation" has two suborganizations "Retail Bank" and "Operations" and each of those have two suborganizations under them. "Retail Bank" has "Europe" and "North America" and "Operations" has "Finance" and "Human Resources".

You can create one or multiple organizational levels or just create one organizational level below the root node. This structure is flexible enough to manage your employee base.

You can have as many organizations and sub-organizations in the portal as needed.

You can add users directly in the portal, or you can upload multiple users at once using a CSV file. You can also add users and invite them to MultiLine immediately or save the information to invite them at a later time. If you add users without inviting them, you'll need to use the Resend Invite feature to send them invitations in the future.
