Hierarchy overview

Contributors

The hierarchy endpoints enable you to accurately represent your organization's complete resource hierarchy using folders and projects.

A Hierarchy is composed of multiple elements:

  • The organization is the top of the BlueXP IAM hierarchy. Optionally, you can also have a child organization under a parent organization. An organization represents a purchaser of goods or services from NetApp.

  • Folders are children of the organization or of another folder. Folders are optional in BlueXP IAM and can represent a city, department, region, deployment environment, and so on.

  • Projects are children of the organization or of a folder. Projects represent a working space in BlueXP that organization members can access to manage resources.

  • Resources are associated with one or more folders or projects.
