AKO Group: Organizational Group

What is an “Organizational Group”?

An “Organizational Group” is intended to be placed in the organizational hierarchy of AKO/DKO. Creation of these groups is limited, and a parent must be assigned to the group upon its creation. Only users that are an administrator of an organizational group or site can create organizational groups.

Create an “Organizational Group”

To create an “Organizational Group”:

1. Log into AKO/DKO.
