Google Apps administrators can now segment their users into different organizations and control which Google services are enabled/disabled for each of those different sets of users.

- Allows creation of organizations in a tree-like hierarchy
- Manage membership of users into one organization
- Specify policies for which services are on/off by organization

Updates have also been made to the Google Apps Directory Sync Tool and the Provisioning API to take this new functionality into account.

One last thing…there is a catch to using this. A user can exist in only a single node in the hierarchy tree. This could present problems for users who have multiple roles (ie. a graduate student who is also an undergraduate alumnus, a staff member who is also a student, etc.)
