Operation

Description

Viewing Department Information

A bastion host can collect statistics on the number of users and hosts under each department. You can query the user and host asset configurations of a department on the department management page. Application resources and application publish servers are not included in the statistics.

Changing Department Information

  • You can change the department name, department description, and superior department a department belongs to.
  • After a department is moved from one superior department to another, resources and users in the department are automatically moved accordingly.

Deleting a Department

  • The default department HQ is the top department in a bastion host and cannot be deleted.
  • When a superior department is deleted, by default, all its lower-level departments are deleted automatically.
