Organisation structure

Organisations let you adapt Moodle Workplace to your company structure defining roles and hierarchies that automatically create reporting lines. Assign management rights and security permissions to each role. |

Organisation structure is a combination of three Moodle Workplace features: departments, positions and jobs. Departments specify where a user is operating; positions specify what a user's function is. You deploy department and position hierarchies to represent your organisation structure and define reporting lines by assigning job assignments to employees in any department with any position.
These concepts — frameworks, departments, positions and job assignments — allow you to adapt the software to your company structure, defining roles and hierarchies that automatically create reporting lines. You can further assign management rights and security permissions to each role. The following diagram provides a high-level overview of the organisational components:
Click. User a has been assigned to job assignment C. Job assignment C is linked to Department 3.1.1 and Position 2.2. So, user a works in Department 3.1.1 and has Position 2.2.
User b, on the other hand, has been assigned to two job assignments: A and B. A is linked to Department 2.1 and Position 1.1; B is linked to Department 3.1.1 and has position Position 2. User b not only has two jobs in the organisation but is also likely to be the manager of user a! Do you see why this is the case? They both work in the same department, and the position of user a is located below the position of user b in the position framework.
An organisation structure belongs to a single tenant unless it has been configured in the Shared Space. By default, these organisation structures can be managed by users within the admin, tenant admin, or organisation structure manager roles, respectively.
