You create a top-level organization to establish an organizational hierarchy. This hierarchy structures the data in the system. This structure defines how top and next-level organizations relate to each other and drives security within PearsonAccess. Programs protect student privacy and secure data by controlling user access to specific organizations within the hierarchy.
