JCR Organization Service is an implementation of the exo.core.component.organization.api API.
The information will be stored in the exo:organization root node of the workspace.
The workspace name has to be configured in the configuration file.
Open $PLATFORM_TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/portal/WEB-INF/conf/configuration.xml,
then replace <import>war:/conf/organization/idm-configuration.xml</import>
with <import>war:/conf/organization/exo/jcr-configuration.xml</import>.
Create the jcr-configuration.xml file in the $PLATFORM_TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/portal/WEB-INF/conf/organization/exo directory and
fill in the following content:
<configuration

In which, storage-workspace is the workspace name in the default repository where the organization storage will be created.
If storage-workspace is absent in configuration, the default workspace will be selected in the current repository.
Start eXo Platform server.
eXo starts and auto-creates its organization model in the /exo:organization node.
Now eXo uses your JCR node as its organization model storage. Users, groups and memberships are now stored and retrieved from there.
