Regarding the various groupisms that can be created on Totara.

I was wondering what are the differences between various segregating mechanisms on totara for example:

Tenants

Organisations

Audiences

Groups

And how are they linked / related to each other ?
how can i create a parents and their sub children type hierarchy if incase i want to.
Can i create tenants inside an organisation ? or vice versa ? how does it work ?

Also how can i better understand the possibilities / restrictions of all of these, so i know what combination would be best suited for my organisation hierarchy ?

Hi Dhairya

Organisations are able to be created in hierarchies and are assigned to a user through their job assignment. These are site wide structures so available to all tenants, audiences and groups.

Groups are also subsets of users aimed at keeping users in course activities apart

Audiences are subsets of users across the site that allows common procedures such as enrolling users to be actioned.

Tenants separates users for all aspects of Totara - courses, activities, performance activities and allows separate themes and roles for each tenant

So basically they are way to separate content and users at different levels with organisations available at all levels.
