Assigned and Unassigned Objects

Hierarchy Manager defines the following assigned and unassigned objects:

• Assigned Link Targets or OMF Objects. Link targets or business objects that have been linked into the current hierarchy or into the sub-tree from the current node down.
• Un-Assigned Link Targets or OMF Objects. Link targets or business objects that the current user has been granted access to, but that have not yet been linked into the current hierarchy, or into the sub-tree from the current node down.
• Assigned Users. Users of the current company, who have been associated at least once to a node from current node down, or current hierarchy.
• Unassigned Users. Users of the current company, who can be associated to the current node, or the root node of the hierarchy.
• Authorized Users. Users who have permission to access the current node, which includes users associated with the current node, and those with any ancestor nodes.
• Unauthorized Users. Users of the current company that do not have access to the current node.

Consider the following points when using Hierarchy Manager in your application:

• Hierarchy Manager's tree structure does not support multiple parents.
• Only one unique link target for each hierarchy is supported.
• Each hierarchy is unique by domain ID or company ID, and name.
• Each company or domain can only have one billing hierarchy.
