The Management Center for HCL Commerce, is a suite of tools to support store management, merchandising, and marketing tasks for business users (Sellers, Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Catalog Managers, Buyer Administrator, Customer Service Supervisor and others).
Organizations
An organizational entity is a type of member in HCL Commerce. An organizational entity is classified into one of three types: an organization, an organization unit, or an authorization domain. For site administrators, one of your first tasks after installing and configuring HCL Commerce is setting up and managing access to your e-commerce site. This process involves creating organizations that participate at your site, and defining users that are members of those organizations. After an instance is created, you can publish a starter store that defines the organization structure. Sometimes, organizations joining your site might be buyer organizations. In other cases, you might have customers registering at your site who are engaged in a business-to-consumer relationship with your business. Defining the organizational structure of site is an important step in managing the types of access that members have to your system.

Procedure

Search for your organization.
On the Organizations page, select the check box next to your organization and click Lock/Unlock. The Status page displays.
Locking an organization prevents only the users who belong to that organization from logging into the system. To prevent other users such as registered customers from accessing the resources owned by a locked organization, you should close or suspend the store before you lock the organization. In addition, the Logon command only checks the ancestors of a user, not the ancestors of the store to which the customer logs on.
Click Lock or Unlock to lock or unlock the organization.
Click OK.
