Departments

This guide covers the Departments feature in Grower, explaining how to create, edit, and delete departments within an organization. It details how to group users by roles, manage department settings, and ensure proper organization structure for efficient user management.

A Department in Grower is a unit that groups users within an organization. Departments are unique to each organization and serve as a way to structure users based on their roles and responsibilities, facilitating better organization management and role assignment.
