Parent-Child Relationships
--------------------------

All entities in the system reside at a specific hierarchy and the 
data displayed is within the scope of the specified hierarchy.
This means that every entity in the system - including users, device
models and network components - has a parent hierarchy defined.
A user is for example provisioned with a specific hierarchy node in a
parent-child relationship. User names must be unique within a specific
hierarchy.
