Manage Departments

You can:
  • Create departments and subdepartments.

  • View and edit the documents.
When you create a department, you can more easily manage settings for users in the department.

    In large-scale tenants (Example: more than 3,000 departments and 10,000 users), manually adding users to a department via the user interface can result in a 15–20 second wait while the list populates. For optimal performance when managing large numbers, use the Import Users functionality to assign users to departments in bulk. See Set Up Users
