How to delete an Organisation Account?

When the request for deletion of an Organisation Account (OAcc) reaches OA team/Support it need to be clarified if only the last Organisation Administrator (OrgAdmin) leaves the organisation or if the account should be closed completely (aka CCA-termination).

  1. The last OrgAdmin leaves the organisation

    • The OAcc can be left orphaned until a new OrgAdmin is nominated.
      The steps 1-4 needs to be followed.

  2. The Organisation Account shall be deleted
    • All steps need to be followed.

Hints / Ideas

What is visible in the cerificates overview of an OrgAdmin if the OrgAdmin is nominated as OrgAdmin for 2 organisations?
