Organizational Units (OUs) and Group Structure
Option 1:
Each location contains two or more departments. Each department holds its own printer and computers allocated to a specific department and the main company officials. Communication will be set between each user, computer, data, and printer to ensure documents stay safe in within independent departments. User login and password will be assigned to each person inside the department’s group. Group privileges will be set according to job descriptions in each department and store in each department’s OU file. The Organization Unit (OU) will hold the hierarchy for users, data, and equipment permission for each location. The UO will ensure only the departments in each location have permissions for computers and printers for each department. CompanyA.com users will have unlimited access across the departments as shown in fig 1.1.
