Hierarchies

Review the hierarchy tree, select a node, and start the right node action.

Use Hierarchies to view the organization tree and manage node-level actions.

What hierarchies control

Use hierarchies to:

  • place devices under the correct business node

  • control node-level visibility and ownership

  • manage users at a specific node

Before you start

Confirm that:

  • you know which node you want to review or change

  • you have permission to manage hierarchy nodes

  • you know whether you need to add, edit, delete, or assign users

Prepare these values when you will add a new node:

  • Name

  • Entity Type

Open Hierarchies

1

1. Open the hierarchy tree

Go to Verifone CentralDevice ManagementHierarchy/Group ManagementHierarchies.

2

2. Review the tree

Scan the tree and locate the root or child node you want to manage.

3

3. Select the target node

Select the node before you open any action.

Open the Actions menu

Select Actions to open the available node operations.

Available hierarchy actions

From Actions, you can:

  • Extend Node — add a child hierarchy

  • Extend Root — add a top-level hierarchy

  • Edit Node — update hierarchy details

  • Remove Node — delete the selected hierarchy

New hierarchies require at least Name and Entity Type.

Choose the right action

Use these quick rules:

  • use Extend Node when the new hierarchy belongs under an existing parent

  • use Extend Root when the new hierarchy should start at the top level

  • use Edit Node when the node stays in place but its details need to change

Manage users at a node

Use Hierarchy - user management to view, add, or unassign users for a selected node.

Use node-level user management when access should follow a specific branch of the tree.

Validate the selected node

Before you run an action, confirm:

  • the highlighted node is the one you intend to change

  • the node level matches your target scope

  • the action matches the outcome you want

If the wrong node is selected, return to the tree before you continue.
