## Description

**As** a user manager  
**I want to** organize my departments hierarchically  
**so that** I can show my organizational structure

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Pre-requisite: <mention class="mention" data-id="73527" data-type="work_package" data-text="##OP-19115" data-display-id="OP-19115">\#\#OP-19115</mention>

  - Build a new type of Group called `Department` that has special semantics

  - Users can only be part of one `Department`. When you try to assign a user that is already part of another `Department` you are asked if you want to move the user and if you say yes, the user is removed from the old `Department`.

  - Departments are displayed in their own menu item in the Users & Permissions section of administration

  - Departments are presented in a tree view

  - Department hierarchies can be moved around

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

  - *Should the organizational structure be visible to the entire org? Should only members of a group see their entire tree?*

**Translation considerations**

  - *Key terms and phrases in the key languages* 

**Out of scope**

  - LDAP sync should correctly set the structure. We have to think about how we treat current groups, because this might give people permissions they not previously had

*Set the* **To be informed/consulted teams** *field to include all teams necessary to be informed of the changes.*
