An organization includes one or more business groups. A business group represents a unit within the organization, such as a department or cost center, for which business services can be deployed.
A business group can be assigned access to all of an organization’s resources or only some of the resources. When a business service is created for a business group, it uses only the assigned resources. Multiple business groups can be assigned the same resources, which means that the resources become shared resources.
