## Tenant, Groups, and Organizations
### The Snyk hierarchy
Snyk has a hierarchy that allows you to control access to Snyk scanning and features.
The Snyk hierarchy for Enterprise plans
* **Account:** Users must log in to their Snyk account to scan and view or modify any settings and scan
* [**Tenants**](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/tenant.md): A Tenant encompasses the entire Snyk workspace of your company, team, and individual users. You have one Tenant that encompasses all your Snyk work items: Groups, Organizations, Targets, Projects, and all their adjacent entities, for example, Snyk features, Tags, Collections, and so on.
* [**Groups**](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/groups.md): A Group encompasses your entire base of Snyk users. You have at least one Snyk Group. Large companies may have multiple Groups with multiple Organizations.
* [**Organizations**](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations.md): An Organization represents a specific area, such as a team, in your business. Organizations can contain multiple Projects.
* [**Targets**:](https://docs.snyk.io/glossary#target) A Target represents the external resource that Snyk scans, like a repository. One Target can relate to multiple Projects. For example, a Target `https://github.com/examplesnyk/example` contains the Projects `package.json` and `Dockerfile.`
* [**Projects**](https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-projects)**:** A Project is established based on the item that Snyk scans for issues, such as a manifest file. Each Project shows the results of scans. You can configure your Projects to define how to scan for issues in that Project.
### Snyk features for user management
To manage users in your Tenant, Organizations, and Groups:
* You can use the Snyk API v1 to [provision users to Orgs](/platform-administration/user-management/user-management-with-the-api/provision-users-to-organizations-using-the-api.md) and [remove members from Groups and Orgs](/platform-administration/user-management/user-management-with-the-api/remove-members-from-groups-and-orgs-using-the-api.md).
* To find out when a new user was added or to analyze unexpected activity, you can [retrieve audit logs of user-initiated activity](/platform-administration/user-management/user-management-with-the-api/retrieve-audit-logs-of-user-initiated-activity-by-api-for-an-org-or-group.md) by Organization or Group through the Snyk REST API.
* You can [use Organization access requests](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations/requests-for-access-to-an-organization.md) to add users and [configure session length for a Snyk Group](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/groups/configure-session-length-for-a-snyk-group.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/groups-and-organizations.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
