Give a school, team or region its own space to issue credentials, while your organization keeps the plan and the credits.
A department is an organization under yours. It has its own workspace: its own team, credential groups, designs and credentials. It uses your plan and your credits, up to an allowance you set.
Departments are on the Enterprise plan. Only administrators of the parent organization can manage them.
Create a new department: start an empty organization under yours. Enter its name and, if you like, its website. You become its administrator, and you invite its team from its settings.
Add an organization you run: move one of your existing organizations under yours.
3
Confirm
A department can’t be removed from its parent later.
A new department starts with no allowance, so it can’t issue until you set one. Set the most of your credits it can use, then click Save allowance. Usage resets every year. When a department reaches its allowance, its issuing pauses until usage resets or you raise it.To work in a department, switch to it from the organization menu at the top of the sidebar.
