Is it possible to assign an organization to a hierarchy from within the organization itself?

The correct understanding is that it is not possible to assign an organization to a hierarchy from within the organization itself. This stems from how organizational hierarchies are structured in Workday. Hierarchy assignments typically need to be initiated from a higher-level organization or through administrative functions outside the individual organization. This ensures that the integrity and consistency of the organizational structure are maintained, as changes at this level can have widespread implications throughout the system.

In many cases, organization assignments to hierarchies are managed by users with specific roles and access rights, ensuring that proper oversight and control measures are taken. This method prevents individual organizations from autonomously altering their positions within hierarchies, which could lead to errors or misalignments within the broader organizational landscape.
