Organization

Organization management enables you to structure your system with hierarchical organizations, manage users, groups, roles, and permissions. This provides a comprehensive access control and multi-tenancy system.

What is Organization Management?

Organization management enables you to:

Create Hierarchical Organizations: Build parent-child organization structures
Manage Users: Create and manage users across multiple organizations
Organize with Groups: Create groups to organize users
Define Roles: Create roles with specific permissions
Control Access: Manage permissions through roles and groups
Multi-Tenancy: Support multiple organizations in a single system

Key Concepts

Organizations

Organizations are hierarchical entities that represent companies, departments, or business units:

Hierarchical Structure: Organizations can have parent-child relationships
Root Organizations: Top-level organizations without parents
Child Organizations: Sub-organizations that belong to parent organizations
Organization Tree: Visual representation of organization hierarchy

Users

Users are individuals who access the system:

Multiple Organizations: Users can belong to multiple organizations
Primary Organization: One organization is designated as primary
User Roles: Users can have direct role assignments
Group Membership: Users can belong to groups

Groups

Groups are collections of users within an organization:

Hierarchical Structure: Groups can have parent-child relationships
Organization Scoped: Groups belong to specific organizations
Role Assignment: Groups can have roles assigned
Inheritance: Groups can inherit permissions from parent groups

Roles

Roles define sets of permissions:

Organization Scoped: Roles belong to specific organizations
Permission Assignment: Roles have permissions assigned
Permission Groups: Roles can include permission groups
User Assignment: Roles can be assigned to users or groups

Permissions

Permissions define what actions can be performed:

Resource Types: Permissions apply to resources (tables, rows, columns, JSON keys)
Actions: Permissions define actions (read, write, delete, etc.)
Conditions: Permissions can have conditions (ABAC - Attribute-Based Access Control)
Permission Groups: Permissions can be organized into groups

How Organization Management Works

Hierarchical Structure

Organizations form a tree structure:

Root Level: Top-level organizations
Child Levels: Sub-organizations nested under parents
Visualization: Organization tree displayed as a graph/flow diagram
Navigation: Navigate through organization hierarchy

User Management

Users are managed across organizations:

User Creation: Create users and assign to organizations
Multiple Organizations: Assign users to multiple organizations
Role Assignment: Assign roles directly to users
Group Membership: Add users to groups

Group Management

Groups organize users within organizations:

Group Creation: Create groups within organizations
Hierarchical Groups: Create parent-child group structures
User Assignment: Add users to groups
Role Assignment: Assign roles to groups

Role Management

Roles define permission sets:

Role Creation: Create roles within organizations
Permission Assignment: Assign permissions to roles
Permission Groups: Include permission groups in roles
User/Group Assignment: Assign roles to users or groups

Permission System

Permissions control access:

Resource-Based: Permissions apply to specific resources
Action-Based: Permissions define allowed actions
Conditional: Permissions can have conditions
Inheritance: Permissions can be inherited through groups

Organization Features

Organization Tree

Visual representation of organization hierarchy:

Graph View: Interactive graph showing organization relationships
Node Representation: Each organization shown as a node
Parent-Child Links: Visual connections between parent and child organizations
Navigation: Click nodes to view details or add children

Multi-Organization Support

Users can belong to multiple organizations:

Organization Selection: Users can switch between organizations
Primary Organization: One organization designated as primary
Cross-Organization Access: Users can access resources from multiple organizations
Organization Context: System context switches based on selected organization

Access Control

Comprehensive access control system:

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Permissions assigned through roles
Group-Based Access: Permissions inherited through group membership
User-Level Permissions: Direct permission assignments to users
Resource-Level Control: Permissions apply to specific resources

Using Organization Management

Organization management features can be:

Created: Create organizations, users, groups, and roles
Edited: Modify organization structure, user assignments, group membership, and role permissions
Deleted: Remove organizations, users, groups, and roles (with proper validation)
Visualized: View organization hierarchy as a tree/graph
Managed: Manage permissions and access control
