It's especially important to understand how the new Org Chart works when granting authority. Every employee at Stanford works for a particular organization. Every financial account is associated with a particular organization. These organizations are designated by a four letter code in the administrative systems. A person may have authority over any organization. Granting authority at a parent level org also grants authority to any child orgs under that parent level organization. For example, granting authority to somene using the Hoover Institution org code (AGBS), also grants them authority over Hoover Institution Operations (AGFO), Program Development (AGNG), Resource Development (AGUY), Operations (AHCQ), Research (AHKI), and Hoover Library/Archives (AHSA).
You can also grant authority at higher or lower levels on the org tree to include more or less access accordingly. For example, you could grant authority to just the Hoover Library/Archives (AHSA), limiting the grant to that child org only, or you could grant authority at the President's Office (AAAA) which grants authority over all of the Hoover institute orgs, and all of the other orgs that report to the President's Office, including Campus Relations (ACVC), Public Affairs (ABIQ), and many others.
