Create the first Organization
Hi,
I am installing the API Manager on a local machine.
When I try to login to the UI, I get an error message: "Your credentials are valid, but you are not a member of an organization."
I have two questions:
- Can I create the organization from the UI?
- I do not understand if the admin-user is needed to create the organization or is possible to create the user and the organization together (by running the command "apigee-service apigee-provision setup-org -f configFile").
Here the documentation says "add the specified user as the org admin. If the user does not exist, you can create one" and few lines later is written that "adds the specified user as the org admin. The user must already exist; otherwise the script issues an error".
However here the docmentation creates the admin-user using the organization.
The question is: which one is the first step? Is it possible to create both together?
thanks,
fabio
I followed also this document

I think you are mixing up the concept of sysadmin and org admins for Apigee Edge
Look at http://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/latest/managing-users-roles-and-permissions (Adding a system administrator)
When you first install Apigee Edge, you provide sysadmin credentials. You then proceed to create an organization and assign an org admin for the organization using the link you provided
A sysadmin user is unique and not associated with an organization (by default). So, they cannot log into the Edge UI using the sysadmin account unless you associate it with an organization
An org admin can log into Edge UI and manage the organization

Fabio, I updated the doc at http://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/latest/onboard-organization to hopefully make this process clearer. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

yes, now is clearer: first of all I have to create the organization, then I can associate an user as admin.
I did not tested the creation with a configFile yet. For this part I will let you know.
Thank you,
Fabio
