Managing Organization Structures¶

Organization structure displays the hierarchical relationships within the OU based on factors such as function or region with nodes as the unit of organization structures.

This article introduces how OU administrators manage organization structures in the Admin Console of Application Portal.

Creating an Organization Structure¶

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Select New Organization Structure, enter the name of the organization structure on the popup window and select Submit.

Managing Organization Structure Nodes¶

Nodes are the basic units of an organization structure, demonstrating the hierarchical ralationships in the organization structure. An organization structure consists of a root node and other nodes that connected to the root node directly or indirectly.

Adding a Node¶

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Select the Manage of the target organization structure from the organization structure list.
Hover over the ellipsis (…) of a node and select Add Child Node.
Enter the node name on the popup window and select Submit.

Note

The node name should be different to the name of the parent node and the nodes under the same parent node.

Sorting the Order of Nodes¶

The order of organization structure nodes affects the display order of assets or nodes in related applications. Sort the order of nodes under the same parent node by the following steps:

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Select the Manage of the target organization structure from the organization structure list.
Select Sort Order.
Drag the tag of organization structure nodes to sort the order of the nodes under the same parent node on the popup window.
Select Submit.

Assigning Assets to Nodes¶

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Select the Manage of the target organization structure from the organization structure list.
Hover over the ellipsis (…) of a node and select Manage Assets.
In the Unassigned Asset section, select one ore more assets and select the right arrow icon to assign the assets to the node. In the Assigned Assets section, select the left arrow icon of assets to remove the assets from the node.
Select Submit.

Note

An asset can only be assigned to one node in an organization structure.

After assigning asset to an organization structure node, you can assign the organization node to OU users, so that the users can get access to the information of the assets via applications. For more information on assigning organization structure nodes to OU users, see Assigning Organization Structure Nodes to a User.

Adding a Tag¶

When developing applications, developers can acquire the information of organization structure nodes by the tags on the nodes. Add tags to an organization structure nodes by the following steps:

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Select the Manage of the target organization structure from the organization structure list.

Select the Manage of the target organization structure from the organization structure list.
Hover over the ellipsis (…) of a node and select Delete.
Select OK on the popup window.

Enabling Automatic Asset Authorization¶

By default, users can only access to the assets of the nodes assigned to the users, and cannot access to the assets assigned to the child nodes of the assigned nodes. Enable automatic asset authorization by the following steps to automatically grant the access permission of the assets in the child nodes to the users in the parent nodes:

Select Organization Structure from the left navigation pane of the Admin Console.
Under the Automatic Asset Authorization column, turn on the toggle of the target organization structure to enable automatic asset authorization, so that the users in the organization structure can get access to the assets in the child nodes.

Deleting an Organization Structure¶
