    Organizational unit, division, section, object group, team, project or any other form of organizing things and/or people. The OrgType objects are designed to form a hierarchical organizational structure (or rather several parallel organizational structures). Orgs are designed for grouping of objects. Orgs usually group users, but they can group any kind of objects (roles, policies, resources, etc.) This can be used to create a flexible delegated administration setup. See Organizational Structure in midPoint wiki for a general introduction to the concepts. The OrgType is also used as a focal object for generic synchronization. In that case the Orgs can correspond to LDAP OUs or groups or any similar resource objects. OrgType is also a role (RoleType). This feature may not be used for majority of OrgType instances. But it is very useful if membership in an org unit automatically grants some accounts or roles. Although roles and orgs are very similar there is one principal difference: Orgs are designed for grouping, roles are designed for flexible policy definition.
