In order to manage resources, those resources must belong somewhere. In EmpowerID, this "somewhere" is an object known as an "EmpowerID Location" or "Location." These locations are user-defined logical representations of the organizational and geographical structure of an enterprise that you can map to actual resource locations in the enterprise's external directories or simply use them as containers for delegation purposes.
This topic demonstrates how to create EmpowerID Locations.

This opens the Location Details form.
Select the location type from the Location Type drop-down list.
If you are creating a location for an external organization such as a partner, select Organization - Security Container as the type.
