Cause

The tenant is showing up as a 'Sub-Provider'.

Resolution

To resolve this the following Right needs to be removed.

1. Select the "Default Sub-Provider Entitlement" Rights Bundle.
2. Disable the right "Administer and traverse into other organizations".
3. Disable "Publish to Tenants", publish the "Default Sub-Provider Entitlement" Rights Bundle.
4. Check if any other Rights Bundle which is published to the specific tenant has the similar rights. If there is any Generic Rights Bundle or Custom Rights Bundle which has the right "Administer and traverse into other organizations", please disable and publish to tenant.

Alternatively the following workarounds are available: 

1. Using the API

Check the current storage limit and update the same for org VDC using the REST API call :

GET:
Request URL:
https://<<vdc-ip>>/api/admin/vdc/<vdc-id>

Response will have the vdcStorageProfile id as mentioned below:
...

      "type" : "application/vnd.vmware.admin.vdcStorageProfile+xml",

GET:
https://<<vdc-ip>>/api/admin/vdcStorageProfile/<<profile-id>>

Response:

content-type: application/*+json

Request Payload:

"limit" : << new value in MB >>

2. Create Organization as not Sub Provider.
