Manage organizations
Managing organizations keeps every module tenant-safe and scoped to the right hierarchy. Use the directory tools to model subsidiaries, business units, or brand overlays without leaking data across tenants.

Build the organization tree
- Navigate to Directory → Organizations from the admin sidebar. The list is already filtered to the organizations you can manage, based on
directory.organizations.view. - Add a new organization with the Create organization action. Supply a name, optional external code, and assign the tenant scope. Use the parent selector to nest entities and mirror your hierarchy.
- Edit existing nodes to move them inside a branch or update metadata. All changes require the
directory.organizations.managefeature. - Keep context by watching the breadcrumb above the list—the active tenant and organization path carry over to other modules automatically.
- Built-in access – freshly installed environments ship with
adminandsuperadminroles that already includedirectory.organizations.viewanddirectory.organizations.manage, so they can manage the tree immediately.
Tenant and organization filtering
- Directory-backed pages, APIs, and lists always enforce
tenantIdandorganizationIdfrom the authenticated session. That includes CRUD queries, dashboard widgets, and custom modules built on top of the query engine. - When operators select a different organization, every module receives the new scope. Data reloads use the updated organization filter, so records from other branches never appear.
- Soft-deleted rows remain hidden unless the page explicitly opts into
withDeleted, still honoring the current organization filters.
Switch organizations from anywhere

- Use the global organization selector in the backend shell to jump between branches you are allowed to access.
- Selecting an organization raises the
organizationScopeChangedevent so client components can refetch with the correctorganizationId. - The selector also shows the tenant name, making it clear when you are crossing tenant boundaries before any data loads.
Next steps
- Align role visibility with the updated hierarchy in the Users & roles management guide.
- Revisit the Login & authentication guide to see how organization scope flows into the dashboard experience.
