Organization / Group#

Basic Concepts#

In FutureVuls, an organization is used as a "billing entity." In most cases, the organization will correspond to your company.

All vulnerability information and server/product information belong to a "group." We recommend creating groups based on how you organize your vulnerability and server/product information.

About Group Sets

The CSIRT Plan includes a Group Set feature that allows you to bundle and manage multiple groups collectively. For details, please refer to CSIRT Plan > Group Sets.

For settings related to users, groups, group sets, and organizations, please refer to the following manuals:

How to Divide Organizations#

An organization serves as a container for managing your company within FutureVuls. We generally recommend creating one organization per company. There is no upper limit to the number of organizations.

Accessing Multiple Organizations

Each user can belong to only one organization. However, if the same email address is registered to multiple organizations, a list of your organizations will be displayed upon login, allowing you to select which one to access. To switch organizations, you must first log out and then log back in.

Disadvantages of Creating Multiple Organizations

The following are disadvantages of dividing a single company into multiple organizations. If you must separate organizations, please do so with an understanding of these drawbacks.

  • Since groups and group sets belong to an organization, cross-organizational management, such as referencing or copying groups and servers from another organization, is not possible.
  • User affiliation management and auditing must be performed for each organization separately.
  • If the same email address is registered to multiple organizations, you must select which organization to access upon login.
  • Switching organizations generally requires logging out and back in. - (Note) It is possible to log into multiple organizations simultaneously using different browsers if you bookmark each organization's URL.
  • If you later wish to merge organizations that have been separated, we do not provide any individual support whatsoever. You will need to redo all of the settings yourself.

How to Divide Groups#

A group serves as a container for organizing servers and assets within FutureVuls. We generally recommend dividing groups to correspond with each system within your organization.

Within an organization, the administrators, internet-exposure status, and other factors often differ from one system to another. In FutureVuls, by setting user permissions appropriately, you can grant view permissions on a per-group basis. This allows you to configure settings so that a user can view one system but not another. For more information on user permission management in FutureVuls, please refer to "User Permission Management."

Groups can also be divided by department or by administrator.

Regarding the Maximum Number of Groups and Pricing Structure

There is no specific upper limit on the number of groups. The number of groups does not affect the pricing calculation.

Deleting Groups, Group Sets, and Organizations#

Groups, group sets, and organizations can be deleted from their respective settings screens.

Caution Regarding Deletion

When you perform a deletion, all information registered to that item (e.g., server information within a group) will be erased. In particular, deleting an organization will permanently remove all associated data, including groups, servers, vulnerabilities, and tasks.

Deleted information cannot be recovered, so please perform this operation with caution.
