Organization Conception
Think of an Organization as a pyramid the business as a whole is the top of the pyramid. The organization then branches down into for example a Sales group and a Technology group. From here the group can then branch further into the different departments within the organization. For example, people who work on specific products, or people in the technology departments branching off into networking teams and web development teams. Having organizations break down into smaller subgroups makes it easier to assign users to specific roles within the organization. Having these parameters laid out allows you to organize and figure out what teams should do what within Open-AudIT keeping the information relevant to each user who accesses it.
