# Organizations

## Overview

A Verifone representative will set up your organization entities based on your needs, whether you have a single business with a single store, multiple stores, or multiple businesses with multiple stores.

Each user in your organization will only be able to see organizations based on its access level.

## Group Hierarchy <a href="#group-hierarchy" id="group-hierarchy"></a>

To improve data access control in Verifone Central, you can view and work with only the specific organizations you are responsible for - regardless of where those organizations sit in the hierarchy.

Instead of assigning users to a top-level organization (which gives access to all sub-entities), we introduced the concept of *Groups*. A group is a custom collection of organizations created by an admin. Users assigned to a group will only see data related to the organizations within that group, ensuring secure and focused access. To see instructions on how to create and edit an organization group, check the [Users and merchants roles](/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/administration-tools/users-and-merchants-roles.md) documentation.

To view the *Organizations* page, select **Administration > Organizations** from the top menu.

Use the search bar to look for organizations based on specific parameters. You can search by:

* Business identifier
* Organization ID
* Organization name
* Tax registration number
* Verifone ID

You can also filter organizations based on:

* Country
* Type (Merchant Company, Merchant Site, and so on)
* Status

To view additional details of a specific organization, click any row in the table.

The *Organization ID* is the entity ID that is required for [Checkout](/api-reference/open-api-references/checkout.md) and [eCommerce](/api-reference/open-api-references/ecommerce.md) API integrations.

Under a specific organization, depending on your user’s permissions, you will find links to its parent entity, associated [Payment Provider Contracts](/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/administration-tools/payment-provider-contracts.md), and [Points of Interaction](/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/administration-tools/points-of-interaction.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
A template for transaction receipts can be incorporated upon request, but this will require a configuration change for you organizations. For more information contact a Verifone representative.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

If you wish to use Verifone’s tokenization service, you will need to create a token scope under your Merchant Company organization and link it to your Merchant Site organization(s). For additional information refer to our [Tokenization ](/online-payments/tokenization.md)documentation.
