Manage organizational units
An organizational unit is the second level of hierarchy in Chef 360 Platform’s multi-tenancy structure. Each organizational unit helps establish a logical boundary around users (who are its members) and the entities they interact with.
For example, changes to the system made by users and administrators in one organizational unit won’t impact other organizational units. No two organizational units can have the same name. A user with the admin role in an organizational unit can perform administrative actions in that unit. The same user can have different roles in different organizational units within the same tenant. Users can also have multiple roles within the same organizational unit.
Role requirements
To create or modify organizations, you must have a profile with the tenant-admin role.
Create an organization
You can create an organization with or without a default skill assembly and default Node Management agents settings.
