You can configure several attributes of an organization:
- Enter the Name for your organization (required).
- Enter a Description for the organization.
Max Hosts is only editable by a superuser to set an upper limit on the number of license hosts that an organization can have. Setting this value to 0 signifies no limit. If you try to add a host to an organization that has reached or exceeded its cap on hosts, an error message displays:
The inventory sync output view also shows the host limit error.
Click for additional information about the error.
