While we’ll cover policy management a little bit later, it’s important to understand policy management is centered around a principal of hierarchy. Specifically, a root organization is at the top of the hierarchy. Below it fall organizations, and then applications.
For many teams, the structure of organizations and applications will follow their own "command and control". In this instance, various business units are responsible for top level policies, and then they may add policies that are specific to their organization, or even to specific applications. As such, each business unit will have its own organization below the root organization, and those organizations will have unique applications below them.
For others, the applications their teams work on create more logical categories, such as "Internal". This allows a business to mimic commercial units where each business unit is a separate organization with applications below it.
