Note: Before you start, please be aware that to follow these steps, you need the Hierarchy Management permission.


To change the parent of a user in the above site hierarchy please follow the instructions below:

  1. Log in to the Admin Tool.

  2. Click Config, then click Hierarchy.

  3. Click Organisation.

  4. Locate the user that needs removing, click Remove icon.

    • If they have descendants you need to remove these and add them back once you've changed this user parent.

  5. Locate the new parent and click Add Child icon.

  6. Search for the user's name who you want to add.

    • You can add in this user's descendants by doing step 5 again.

    • ​​​​​​​This will now rebuild the hierarchy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    • Allow up to four hours for your changes to update within your system and reporting.
