Organisation
An organisation may contain more than one Company - typically where a company is created for each environment, such as Production, Testing and Development. Each subscription is for an organisation, and billing is based on the volume of transaction validations completed against all companies within the organisation.
Organisations are managed by navigating to the Organisation Dashboard. When logging in to the Qixol Promo Portal, and where the organisation contains more than one company, the Organisation Dashboard will be displayed allowing the user to select which company they then wish to open.
The Organisation Dashboard is where administrative users may:
oCreate new companies, optionally including sample data
oManage users
oAssign user permissions with all companies
oManage organisation-level information, including billing and primary contact details
When within a company, the Organisation Dashboard can be access from the companies list drop-down menu towards the top right of the page.
