Organizations

An organization represents the structure of a department and its related entities, which can include people and systems.

You can use organizations to maintain your organizational structure and all of the relationships to your IT infrastructure. People can be assigned to organizations as a member or a manager. You can define, for example, the organizational structure that is required to support a go-to-market strategy as well as customer and vendor organizations.
