The Organizations Page
The Organizations page in the Administration group provides information about the current Orbital organization, allows you to enable the Script feature, and configure your Linked Organizations.
Linked Organizations
Before Orbital can run queries and scripts across your organization's endpoints, it needs to know the identity of the endpoints, and where they are. You must link organizations for Orbital to do this.
An organization's endpoints are defined when the organization creates an account with Cisco Secure Endpoint. Lists of endpoints are considered Secure Endpoint organizations, which are linked in the Linked Organizations section of the Organizations page.
An Orbital registered organization may link to more than one Secure Endpoint list. This can be useful in situations where an organization is responsible for the care and maintenance of more than one independent network infrastructure.
Cisco XDR customers have access to the Set up modules button, which takes you to the Integrations page in Cisco XDR where you can choose the desired Secure Endpoint lists that will be linked to the current Orbital organization. Secure Client Cloud Management users can link their organizations by clicking the Connect Cisco XDR or Cisco Secure Client Cloud Management banner in the Secure Endpoint console.
| Note: | You can only link to Secure Endpoint integrations. |
Organizations are listed in the Link Organizations section of the Organizations page. Click the Link organization button to complete the setup and connection of the Cisco XDR or Secure Client Cloud Management organization (the Secure Endpoint integration) to the current Orbital organization.
| Note: | When a Secure Endpoint organization is connected to an Orbital organization, that connection is available to all users in the Orbital organization. |
