Department management

Updated at:

If your organization has multiple departments, you can create a department for each one. This lets you grant permissions and manage applications and users based on your organizational structure.

View the department list

Log on to the idrs service console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose System Settings > Department Management to open the Department Management page.

On the Department Management page, you can create, edit, and delete departments. You can also view department information in the list.

The department list contains the following information.

  • Department Name: The name of the department. A super administrator defines this name when the department is created.
