Hide Organization Section in Delve
Is there an easy way to hide the organization section on the Delve Profile pages? A customer has directory issues they need to solve and as such the organization section is inaccurate. In the mean time they would like to disable this functionality. I havent been able to find the ability to disable this anywhere yet.

Cory, (If I understand you correctly) All of the fields that are presented in a users's profile within Delve are really just properties from the USer Profiles within Sharepoint.
SP Admin Center > Manage User Properties> New Properties > and making sure "Show in the profile properties section of the user's profile page" is checked.
I believe you can make the field (department in this case) hidden (uncheck the "Show in the profile properties section of the user's profile page" and "Show on the Edit Details Page"Additionally, this article by Tony Redmond may offer some insight.

Thanks for the input. Since the Organization section is based on Managers I tried changing this field to "Only Me" since you dont get any other options really and it wont save the change. I basically dont want to show the organizational hierarchy. I have a feeling I cant turn this off, at least not via the manage profiles.
- I agree with Bill Diekmann, the only way to go AFAIK is by manually configure if you want a specific user profile property to be displayed or not in the user profile and consequently in Delve
