Departments, cost centers, and locations

Departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles are each mapped to their own hierarchy under Organizations. This is due to their special significance for daily work schedules in many companies. Various company resources can be assigned to organizations, for example, permissions in different SAP systems or Azure Active Directory tenants. You can add employees to single roles as members. Employees obtain their company resources through these assignments when the One Identity Manager is appropriately configured.
