All groups within Mimecast are hierarchically connected to which element?

In Mimecast, all groups are hierarchically connected to the Root Group. This hierarchical structure is central to how Mimecast organizes and manages user roles, policies, and permissions across its various services. The Root Group acts as the top-level container, allowing for effective management of groups that can inherit attributes and settings from it. This structure facilitates streamlined administration by enabling changes made at the Root Group level to propagate down to sub-groups, ensuring consistency in policy application and user access control.

While the User Profile, Security Policy, and Archiving System are important elements within Mimecast, they do not serve as the foundational grouping mechanism that connects all other groups hierarchically. Understanding the significance of the Root Group is crucial for anyone managing Mimecast environments, as it impacts user management and policy enforcement within the organization.
