Organizational Unit Details

Details page contains the Risk and Exposure Point of the OU, and the Information and Issues panes.

OUs form the account hierarchy: an organization contains OUs, OUs nest inside other OUs, and accounts sit under a root or an OU. Service Control Policies attach to OUs, so an OU is the boundary an SCP applies to. The full tree (Organization, OU, OU, Account) is visible on the Organization details page and in the Graph.
