Opening the Organization Administration Console

The Organization Administration Console allows you, and the buyer's administrators to control the organizations that access your site or store. Tasks that you are authorized to perform in your role are displayed on the Organization Administration Console home page menus. These tasks are based on user roles and authority levels, which are defined in XML files on your HCL Commerce system and are assigned by the Site Administrator by using the Administration Console. To return to the Organization Administration Console home page, click the Home link at the top right of the screen.

Note: The Organization Administration Console runs only in Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are using Internet Explorer, HCL Commerce Accelerator, Administration Console and Organization Administration Console are compatible with Internet Explorer 10 and 11, only when Internet Explorer is run in Compatibility Mode.
