4. About CO Departments⚙️
CO Departments⚙️ are primary objects within COmanage, which means that they are intended to store representations of external objects (just like CO People⚙️). They can attach to either a CO⚙️ or a COU⚙️, and can be used to store a number of attributes about the department, including telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, identifiers, and the sets of people associated with specific responsibilities within the department. CO Departments:gear: can be used to support various use cases:
- In a VO (Virtual Organization) deployment,
CO Departments⚙️ can be used to represent research groups. - In an enterprise deployment,
CO Departments⚙️ can be used to represent the University department hierarchy.
While there may typically be a one-to-one relationship between CO Departments and COUs, it is not strictly necessary. For example, a COU may be made up of members spanning two departments.
CO Departments⚙️ are visible to anyone within the CO⚙️, by logging into COmanage, though only CO Administrators👑 may edit their information.
