Company Tree

Source PDF page(s): 31 (of raw/specs/MMS features v2.5.pdf) User Guide section: §3.2.1 (of raw/specs/MMS_UserGuide_v2.5.0.0.docx)

Summary: Manage the hierarchical structure of companies, subsidiaries, and groups — the organizational backbone used for access control, device visibility, and device assignment scoping.

Status: shipped

Why

The company tree determines organizational scope: which users can see which devices, and which devices can be assigned to which entities. Changes to the hierarchy affect both access and device management. See ../specs/mms-features-v2.5 §5 and ../specs/mms-userguide-v2.5 §3.2.1.

What

  • Hierarchical structure of companies, subsidiaries, and groups.
  • Controls access, visibility, and device assignment scope.
  • Groups are leaf nodes — they cannot contain child entities.

Steps

Create a new entity in the tree

  1. Navigate to the Company Tree page.
  2. View the hierarchical structure of companies, subsidiaries, and groups.
  3. Select the parent node (e.g., a company or subsidiary).
  4. Click Add to create a new child entity.
  5. Enter the required information for the new entity.
  6. Click Save to add it to the hierarchy.

Update an existing entity

  1. Select the node to view or update.
  2. Edit entity information as needed.
  3. Click Save.

Browse the tree

  • Use the tree structure to locate specific companies or groups.
  • Apply the hierarchy when assigning users or devices.

Notes

  • Groups cannot contain child entities — they are always leaf nodes in the tree.
  • The company tree defines organizational structure and relationships.
  • Changes to the hierarchy may affect user access permissions and device assignment scoping.
