Sites and Site Security

With sites, you have the ability to manage a complex and multi-tiered hierarchy of offices, chapters, or affiliates. A national organization with regional offices might establish a headquarters site with regional sites beneath it in a hierarchy. A university may have one central university foundation with separate offices representing the different colleges beneath it. These organizations need a more complex way to set up system security and assign different rights and permissions to users in different offices. Smaller or less complex organizations, such as an organization with only one office, might not need to use sites.
