Organizational Structure
The organizational structure provides a comprehensive view of the organization and its hierarchy. By viewing the organizational structure, you can understand how organizational units are arranged and their relationships with each other and the users.
Viewing the Organizational Structure
To view the organizational structure, please follow these steps:

Please note that archiving cannot be undone, so ensure that you review all details and considerations before proceeding with this action.
