Managing Departments

Overview
Departments represent logical groupings within your organization (e.g., Corporate, Engineering, Research) that help segment resource ownership. By assigning Node Groups and Projects to a Department, you can more easily organize infrastructure and workloads at scale.

Why Use Departments?

• Resource Isolation: Ensure that specific teams or business units manage only their designated resources.
• Accountability: Link resource utilization and budgets directly to the appropriate department.
• Access Control: Restrict which users or roles can modify resources in each department.
