Organisations
When setting up the environment, an organisation can represent any type of organisation in a hierarchy - from a payment service provider, to an acquirer, to a merchant, and their respective subsidiaries. Such as having a European HQ, with sub-organisations representing operations in France, the UK and Belgium. Organisations allow for an unlimited hierarchy, starting at the headquarters level and going down as far as a single department of a sub-organisation, or even further, depending on the level of distinction you’re aiming for processing online transactions.
Scope
The scope of an organisation and the users within that organisation are based on a top-down method. This means that a user can only view organisations and the entities (processors and authenticators) connected to this organisation or child organisations of this organisation.
