Introduction
The organization unity type can be used to configure attributes that can be entered for an organization unit. Similar to a core identity type an attribute mapping can be used. These attribute values can be used in the identity provisioning configuration but only the main employment values can be used.
The feature that the organization units can be built like a tree allows using the attribute values of the parent organization unit in the attribute mapping, so an attribute hierarchy can be built.
