Nodes in an organization tree
An organization tree has nodes that include organizations and subordinate business units, as well as other elements.
An organization tree can have these nodes.
- Organization
- Top of an organizational hierarchy. Contains subsidiary entities such as organization units, business partner organization units, and locations. Organization is the parent node at the top of the node tree.
- Organization Unit
- 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
- Business partner organization. Typically a company outside our organization that has an affiliation, such as a supplier, customer, or contractor.
- Location
- Container that is different geographically, but contained within an organization entity.
- Admin Domain
- 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.
