Inherited policies in sub-organisations

When you create a sub-organisation, it inherits certain policies from its parent organisation. Inherited policies can only be managed by the administrators of the parent organisation. This lets parent administrators manage their organisation and its sub-organisations properly, while sub-organisation administrators can still look after the organisation assigned to them.

For newly created sub-organisations

• If an inherited policy is on in the parent organisation, the new sub-organisation can keep it on or turn it off.
• If an inherited policy is off in the parent organisation, it cannot be changed in the new sub-organisation. To change it, turn it on in the parent organisation first.

For existing sub-organisations

• If you turn an inherited policy off in the parent organisation, it turns off in all existing sub-organisations. Only you, or an organisation higher up, can turn it back on in a sub-organisation.
• If you turn an inherited policy on in the parent organisation, existing sub-organisations are not affected. The policy stays off in each sub-organisation until it is turned on there.

The tables below show which policies are inherited. See also organisation structure and multitenancy.
