Organization administration

If you are granted the appropriate authority, you can add, delete, and modify elements in the organization tree. You cannot delete an element that has dependent units in it.

The following elements are in the organization tree:

Organization

Identifies the top of an organizational hierarchy, which might contain subsidiary entities such as organization units, business partner organization units, and locations. The organization is the parent node at the top of the node tree.

Organization Unit

Identifies a subsidiary part of an organization, such as a division or department. An organization unit can be subordinate to any other container, such as organization, organization unit, location, and business partner organization.

Business Partner Organization Unit

Identifies a business partner organization, which is typically a company outside your organization that has an affiliation, such as a supplier, customer, or contractor.

Location

Identifies a container that is different geographically, but contained within an organization entity.

Admin Domain

Identifies a subsidiary part of an organization as a separate entity with its own policies, services, and access control items, including an administrator whose actions and views are restricted to that domain.
