About Global Organizations

Companies on an Enterprise plan that have more than one MaintainX organization can set up Global Organizations to monitor and manage them. This article explains what a Global Organization and a Global Leader are.

Global Organizations Overview​

A Global Organization is an umbrella organization for your enterprise's individual sub-organizations. For example, let's say you have two manufacturing plants and two distribution centers, each in different cities. You can set up a MaintainX organization for each facility, and connect them with a Global Organization.

The Global Organization provides a central place to monitor and manage the sub-organizations. For details, see Global Organization Features.

The Global Leader User Role​

Global Leader is a MaintainX user role that's specifically for Global Organizations. Global Leaders are the only users who can access Global Organizations and use global features. Think of them as Global Organization Administrators.

  • Global Leaders can monitor and manage all the enterprise's sub-organizations via the Global Organization, whether they are members of those sub-organizations or not.
  • A Global Leader can also be a member of one or more of the enterprise's sub-organizations. In that case, they can see and access those sub-organizations from the organization picker in the sidebar of the MaintainX web application.

How to Set Up a Global Organization​

To set up a Global Organization, contact your MaintainX representative. They can create a Global Organization for your enterprise, and assign the Global Leader user role to specific users.

Access a Global Organization​

To access a Global Organization, you must have a Global Leader user role. In the web application, MaintainX splits the organization picker in the sidebar into sections labeled Global Organization and Sub-Organization.

To open the Global Organization, select it the way you would any other organization.

note

The Global Leader user role doesn't make you a member of your enterprise's sub-organizations automatically. That means you'll only see the sub-organizations that you're a member of in the organization picker.
