Departments (or Divisions)

In some organizations, staff are grouped into Departments (or Divisions), helping subdivide the team for more effective management. These departments can be configured in Settings > General > Departments, where you can add, edit, or remove departments.

Within a staff member’s profile, you can assign them to a department as part of their credentials.

Managing Access and Permissions by Department

Departments play a crucial role in controlling access to information within Ordinate. Permissions can be tailored to allow users to view or manage details related to others in their department. For example, some user roles may have access to view meetings hosted by their departmental colleagues, but not by staff outside their department. This helps balance sharing relevant information while maintaining broader confidentiality.

For more details, see the section on Feature Access Permissions.
