# Organization Hierarchy

AccessIQ supports a tree-structured organization hierarchy, allowing you to model your company's structure — from the top-level company down to individual teams.

## Viewing the Hierarchy

Navigate to **Org & Account Management > Org Hierarchy** to see your organization tree. Each node shows:

* Organization name and type (Company, Division, Department, Team)
* Number of users assigned
* Child organizations

## Creating Organizations

1. Select a parent organization in the tree
2. Click **Create Child Organization**
3. Enter the name, type, and description
4. The new organization appears under the parent

## Organization Types

| Type           | Typical Use                                    |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Company**    | Top-level entity                               |
| **Division**   | Major business unit (e.g., Engineering, Sales) |
| **Department** | Sub-unit within a division                     |
| **Team**       | Working group within a department              |

## How Hierarchy Affects Access

AccessIQ uses **Hierarchical Role-Based Access Control (HRBAC)**:

* Users assigned to a parent organization can optionally inherit access to child organizations
* Policies and application assignments can cascade down the tree
* Each user sees only the organizations they have access to

## Actions

From the hierarchy view, you can:

* **Create Child** — Add a sub-organization
* **Invite User** — Assign a user to this organization
* **View Users** — See who's assigned
* **Edit** — Update name, type, or description
* **Move** — Relocate an organization to a different parent
* **Delete** — Remove an organization (must have no children or users)
