Company hierarchies

In the B2B storefront, a buyer can view the company structure represented as a hierarchy tree. The tree can display multiple levels of company subdivisions (teams) as well as company users. The company hierarchy can have any number of items and levels.

You can use REST endpoints to retrieve the current structure and move teams and buyers within the hierarchy. You cannot delete teams or buyers.

Service name:

companyHierarchyV1

REST Endpoints:

1

GET /V1/hierarchy/:id
PUT /V1/hierarchy/move/:id

In the following example, the following company hierarchy has already been established:

1
2
3

Admin (structure_id = 2)
|-- East (team, structure_id = 8)
