What is an Organisation unit?

The Organisation unit section contains a list of objects designed to emulate the structural components of your organisation and it allows you to build the hierarchical levels of your Directory. The choice of objects belonging to this category are: sites, groups, divisions and cost centres. A special type of group is also available, known as Reporting Collection, which acts as a virtual container that collates disparate users from anywhere in your organisation, for reporting purposes.

Divisions, Cost centres, Groups and Sites can be placed at any point in your Directory and can be used interchangeably to better reflect the internal structure of your company.
