Organization Management

Note: This feature is available only to administrators with the role "Organization Admin”. An admin can only edit their own organization’s data.

A user admin can set up users with these roles.

The Organization Management page allows you to view, search, and manage the hierarchical structure of your organization. Referred to as departments, this includes schools, faculties, departments, centers, and other organizational units.

Accurate organizational data ensures correct affiliation of researchers and supports reliable reporting and analytics.
