Organizations contain your user and admin accounts.

You can set up the MMP to reflect your organizational structure where you can create an organization (root node) with the name of your Enterprise. Each node or a branch of the tree represents a department. Each department can have its own administrator with well-defined roles and privileges. 

Consider the example below:

You can create one or multiple organizational levels or just create one organizational level below the root node. This structure is flexible enough to manage your employee base.

You can have as many organizations and sub-organizations in the portal as needed.

If users lose their invitation, you'll need to send them a new password. See Getting Started with MultiLine for the user experience.
