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 **.
