Business Units and Departments within Entra
I am trying to build out users information, and I realized that I am not sure how/if Microsoft has a way of handling business units? If I have a user John Smith who is under the Tech Services BU, and manages his own department called R&D. How would I build out that Org structure within Entra? I would assume that this exists somewhere, and I am just missing it. The idea is so that the Org chart shows properly within Teams.
It does not have a built-in feature specifically for creating business units and departments in the way traditional ERP systems might.
Use Azure AD attributes such as Department, Job Title, and Manager to define the org structure.
Create Azure AD groups to represent Business Units and Departments.
Set up the Manager attribute in Azure AD to ensure the org chart in Teams and Delve is correctly displayed.
Utilize dynamic groups for automatic assignment to organizational groups.
