Organization and its units

[AP_9587236]

In one organisation if i created 3 organisational units with individual usergroups, the parent organisation also automatically added with few usergroups of its organisational units.

As it is an automatic, i want either (i) the parent organisation should be added with all the usergroups/users of its organisational units (or) with no usergroups/users. Any settings is there to check this abnormal activity?

Not too sure if I understand you correctly, but the way Organizations work and how visibility works with them is that parent units will have visibility to child units.

However if you assign User Groups to specific Units, they shouldn't become automatically applied to parent Units.

So if I'm in a User Group that is assigned to any parent unit, I will see what the child nodes can see.
