# Team structure in OpenMetadata
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In OpenMetadata we have hierarchal team structure with `teamType` that can be `Organization`, `Business Unit`, `Division`, `Department`, and `Group` (default team type).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Organization` is the root team in the hierarchy. _It can't have a parent_. It can have children of type `Business Unit`, `Division`, `Department`, `Group` along with `Users` directly as children (who are without teams).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `BusinessUnit` is the next level of the team in the hierarchy. It can have `Business Unit`, `Division`, `Department`, and `Group` as children. It can only have ** one parent ** either of type `Organization`, or `Business Unit`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Division` is the next level of the team in the hierarchy below `Business Unit`. It can have `Division`, `Department`, and `Group` as children. It can only have ** one parent ** of type `Organization`, `Business Unit`, or `Division`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Department` is the next level of the team in the hierarchy below `Division`. It can have `Department` and `Group` as children. It can have `Organization`, `Business Unit`, `Division`, or `Department` as parents. ** It can have multiple parents **.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Group` is the last level of the team in the hierarchy. It can have only `Users` as children and not any other teams. It can have all the team types as parents. ** It can have multiple parents **.

## How to change the team type
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's say you have team `Cloud_Infra` of type `Department` and you want to change it to the type `BusinessUnit`, you can easily do that through UI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click on the `Cloud_Infra` team name and it will take you to the `Cloud_Infra` details page.
|
||
|
|
<Image src="/images/how-to-guides/teams-and-users/cloud-infra.png" alt="cloud-infra"/>
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
2. On details page you will see the `Type - Department` with edit button.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
3. Now Click on the edit button and you will get a set of options and from them select `BusinessUnit` and click on ✅ to save it.
|
||
|
|
<Image src="/images/how-to-guides/teams-and-users/select-team-type.png" alt="select-team-type"/>
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
4. Now you can see `Cloud_Infra` team type changed to `BusinessUnit` from `Department`.
