Does Intralink 9.x support multiple organizations?

[gchampoux]

I just installed Intralink 9.1 for the first time and started playing with it (as wcadmin).
The Business Admin guide states that there should be an icon to create additional organizations (on some tabs).
However, the only icon shown is to edit the current/selected organization.
I am beginning to suspect that Intralink 9.1 (unlike PDMLink) does not support multiple organizations.
Am I missing something?

Special thanks to Ron who pointed out the following from a training manual:

"In many Windchill implementations, there is often only one Organization context and some Windchill Applications such as Pro/INTRALINK and Arbortext Content Manager only support a single Organization."

He also found that Organizations can be created in the Principals tool
However, any additional organizations are not visible under the Organization tab.

Organizations created in the Principal Administrator are not Context
Organizations, they are Principal Orgs (PO). PO's can be used for user
management including domains and ACL's. Effectively, they just create
another domain that user cabinets can be placed into. They do not
create another context under the site.

I haven't seen Pro/I 9.X, but if you log in similar to PDMLink, doyou see different tabs of Organization and Site? Multiple orgs contexts and ids supported with the implementation ofthe site level back in Windchill 7.0. The Windchill level back in Windchill 6.2.6 has be replaced with the organization level which is why when you migrate from other version that don't support site level all your lifecycles and workflows become the context as Windchill instead of site. I believe Pro/I migrator for 3.# to Windchill PDMLink 9.x places everything in site level which leads me to believe that Pro/I 9.x does support multiple orgs but the PDMLink functionality is required to show the tabs of organizations. It's just like the functionality of Supplier and Project tab for SUMA and ProjectLink respectively, it only shows up if you install the module.

Pro/I 8.x+ does not support Multi Orgs (it may support Org principals, but
not Org containers), non Pro/E CAD Data managed through a workspace,
creation or modification of workflows to name some of the biggies.
