Overview of the Organization page layout and functionality in AMIGO


📖 Introduction

The Organization page is the top-level container in the AMIGO hierarchy. It represents the highest level of your organizational structure and serves as the parent for all portfolios, programs, and projects within your AMIGO instance.

  • Governance: Organization-wide policies and standards
  • Reporting: Consolidated metrics and KPIs

Common Use Cases

  • Multi-Program Oversight: Manage multiple programs under one organization

🛡️ Security Considerations

Access Control

  • Organization access is controlled by Salesforce sharing settings
  • Users must be explicitly assigned to view organization records
  • Child records (portfolios, programs) inherit organization security

Best Practices

  • Limit Organization Owner to senior administrators
  • Use sharing rules to grant broader access when needed
  • Review organization access quarterly
