A Business Unit is a logical grouping of related business activities. This grouping can made to suit an organisation’s needs, but typically they are used to segregate departments or regions. They can be used to ensure that users are only able to access data relevant to their role; this is achieved by applying a Security Role.
Points to note:
- When an environment is created, an initial Business Unit is created and all users are allocated to it by default.
- Each business unit can have one parent business unit and multiple child business units, enabling complex hierarchies to be created.
- A user can only belong to one business unit.
