 Hi Martin,

the problem is usually that the user you are logged in as (the "current
user") is assigned to a single root org unit. You can check that through
the API (user -> organisationUnit) and the user app.

After this user was created, I guess someone has created additional org
units through the API but got the "parent" org unit element wrong or simply
omitted it. When an org unit has a null/missing parent, it effectively
becomes a root org unit. Now since your user is assigned the original root,
you cannot see those other root org units.

The solution is to move the "fake" root org units to their appropriate
place in the hierarchy by modifying the org unit parent element.

Also, if you log in with a user with the ALL authority and go to the user
app -> create new user, you should be able to see those extra root org
units.

regards,

Lars
