Add regions and subsidiaries to your company hierarchy

Last Updated: October 23, 2026

You can organize your business in the company hierarchy in Collaborate by adding regions or subsidiaries. This gives you a better overview of users, projects and how your company is organized.

Go to Organization of users in the top menu and select Company hierarchy. Here you can create regions or add subsidiaries.

Note: The company hierarchy with regions and subsidiaries is available in Ensure. Upgrade to Ensure if you want to create your own projects and regions.

Create a region

Use a region to organize internal departments or geographical regions within your company.

Regions:

  • operate under the main company’s license
  • can be invited to projects
  • can be invited by name, but not by their own organization number (if they have one)

1

Click Create region.

2

Fill in the region details – for example Name, Region ID and Place under a region or subsidiary. Choose whether the region can be invited to projects with Allow region to be invited on projects, then click Next.

3

Search for and add the users who should belong to the region. This step is optional. Click Create to finish.

✓ The region is created and appears in the company hierarchy under the main company.

Add a subsidiary

A subsidiary has its own license in Collaborate, so it doesn’t operate under the main company’s license. You can still link subsidiaries to the parent company to get a better overview of users and projects across your organization.

4

Click Add subsidiary.

5

Get the subsidiary’s company key.

Note: Each company in Collaborate has its own unique company key, and the subsidiary has to share it with you. If you don’t have the key, contact the subsidiary and ask them for it.

6

Enter the company key in the Search by company key field, select the right subsidiary from the list, and save to complete the link.

✓ The subsidiary is linked to the parent company and appears in the company hierarchy.
