# How To Organise Teams And users
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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/v1.2.0/how-to-guides/teams-and-users/cloud-infra.png"
|
||
|
|
alt="cloud-infra"
|
||
|
|
/%}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**2.** On details page you will see the `Type - Department` with edit button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% image
|
||
|
|
src="/images/v1.2.0/how-to-guides/teams-and-users/team-type.png"
|
||
|
|
alt="team-type"
|
||
|
|
/%}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**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/v1.2.0/how-to-guides/teams-and-users/select-team-type.png"
|
||
|
|
alt="select-team-type"
|
||
|
|
/%}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**4.** Now you can see `Cloud_Infra` team type changed to `BusinessUnit` from `Department`.
