Understanding organizations and departments
Organizations and departments are created for the purpose of requesting, issuing, and managing certificates for domains and employees. Depending on the complexity of your enterprise, you can create multiple organizations, and each organization can be subdivided into multiple departments. Once created, organizations and departments can be assigned domains and administrators.
Organizations can be validated by Sectigo to enable the issuance of OV S/MIME, OV SSL, and EV SSL certificates to the organization and its departments. For more information, see Validating organizations. |
Organizations and departments can be managed on the Organizations page.
The following table describes the settings and controls of the Organizations page.
