Restrict organization creation permissions

As a Global Admin, you can control who can create organizations in your tenant for Viva Goals. There are three options you can choose from while setting the organization creation permissions.

1. Anyone in your tenant
2. Only Global Administrators
3. Specific users or groups

Note

Irrespective of the option you choose, Global Admins will always have permission to create organizations.

Anyone in your tenant

When you select this option, any licensed Viva Goals user will have permission to create organizations in your Viva Goals tenant.

Only global administrators

Selecting this option enables you to restrict organization creation permission to only the global admins.

Restricting organization creation permissions to only global admins is a safe option as there won’t be any confusion regarding who created an organization and why.

Specific users or groups

If you have a specific set of users or groups you want to grant access to, you can enter the names of those users or groups.

This Specific users or groups option is useful when you wish to add specific people such as the C-suite or any top-level leadership to provide them the access to create organizations.
