Hierarchies

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

What hierarchies control

Hierarchies define where devices sit in the organization tree.

They help you:

• organize devices by business structure

• control visibility and access at the entity level

• manage users against a specific node

Open hierarchies

1. Go to Verifone Central → Device Management → Hierarchy/Group Management → Hierarchies.

2. Review the hierarchy tree.

3. Select the node you want to manage.

Open the Actions menu

Select Actions to open the hierarchy operations for the selected node.

Available hierarchy actions

From the Actions menu, you can:

• Extend Node — add a child hierarchy under the selected node

• Extend Root — add a new top-level hierarchy

• Edit Node — update hierarchy details

• Remove Node — delete the selected hierarchy

For new hierarchies, Name and Entity Type are required fields.

Manage users at a node

Use hierarchy user management when you need to view, add, or remove users for a specific hierarchy node.

See Hierarchy - user management.
