The Organigram app does not own any people data. It reads it live from other NIZU modules and only stores the drawing itself (who sits where and who reports to whom). These are the connected modules:
This is the primary connection. The app pulls the list of active staff members — their name, job title and profile photo — from Team Management. Only active staff appear:
Because of this, any change you make in Team Management (a new hire, a rename, a new photo, a deactivation) is reflected in the organigram the next time it is opened.
Each staff member's team memberships are read live from the Teams module and shown as colored tags on their card (when “Show teams” is on). Add or remove someone from a team, or create a new team, and the tags update automatically — no need to edit the organigram.
The app adds a single permission, “Design & edit the company organigram”, to the staff Roles screen. Administrators always have it; grant it to a role such as HR to let them edit the chart. Viewing the organigram from a personal profile needs no special permission — it is available to all staff.
The app injects a read-only Organigram tab into every staff member's profile page, highlighting that person on the chart. This is how non-editors see the organigram and their position within it.
Only the layout: the position of each card and the reporting lines, keyed by staff id. Names, titles, photos, active status and teams are never copied — they are always resolved live from the modules above.
