Creating the authorized classification tree

Creating a tree, or hierarchy, of authorized CI classes is one of the first steps toward creating an authorized CI space.

After creating a project and resolving the initial issues, you typically begin the process of creating an authorized CI space by working on your authorized CI tree. This is where you implement the decisions you made as you planned for configuration management: which types of CIs you want to manage, with which attributes and relationships.

There are several possible approaches to creating authorized CI tree. Review the options described under Usage scenarios and choose an approach that fits your situation and your needs. The topics in this section offer details about how to use each of the tools that you need for this task.
