Understanding Sub-Companies in Rise Vision

Learn how Sub-Companies work within your Rise Vision account structure, what permissions they inherit, and how to manage them effectively.

Requirements

• Admin privileges for managing Company settings

What is a Sub-Company?

A Sub-Company is a Company account nested under a primary (Parent) Rise Vision Company.

• Users in the Parent Company can access all Sub-Companies under it.
• Users in a Sub-Company can only access their own Sub-Company and any nested beneath it.
• Sub-Companies share the Parent Company’s subscriptions—except Unlimited License plans. Display Licenses from the Parent plan can be used in all Sub-Companies.

Sub-Companies are useful for managing separate teams or locations under a single organization. For example, a school district (Parent Company) can manage each school (Sub-Company) independently.
