# Hierarchical Structure

To use a hierarchical user structure, you must create a hierarchical set of roles. You can then assign users to the roles.

To create a hierarchical user structure

1. Decide which groups you want to use to structure your users. You can, for example, group them according to roles and responsibilities.

2. Use the RoleAdd action to create a role for each user group. For example:

       action=RoleAdd&RoleName=Sales

3. Use the RoleAddRoleToRole action to create a hierarchical structure of roles. For example:

       action=RoleAddRoleToRole&RoleName=Sales&ParentRoleName=TeleSales

4. Use the UserAdd action to create individual users. For example:

       action=UserAdd&UserName=JaneBrown&Password=Sesame

5. Use the RoleAddUserToRole action to associate each user with a role. For example:

       action=RoleAddUserToRole&UserName=JaneBrown&RoleName=TeleSales
