Departments

The Departments section of the admin portal lists all the departments in your group. A department is a subset of users within a group, and users are individuals within a group or department. Creating departments allows you to create a department administrator, who can then control a small subset of users.

As a group admin, you can add, modify or remove departments, as needed. This guide reviews those steps.
