====== 2.01.26 Unit ======


The **Unit** form administers the organisation structure of the company. Usually, departments and subdivisions (possibly also branch locations) are defined, along with the corresponding employee. These units are used as a basis for the local permission system (see administration guide). 
Furthermore, they can be used for assigning projects to the organisation units. 

**Tip:** For more on this subject see chapter [[en:handbuch:kapitel_3:3.11.08 Verwaltung von Units|3.11.08 Unit Administration]].

Note: For these units (analog to the project structure) functional permissions can be defined (see also administration guide).
