# Position

A Position represents a set of responsibilities for a job of work to be performed in an Organization Unit.

A Position can only be assigned to one Organization Unit. It represents the responsibilities of the position within the context of the Organization Unit. The position of Administrator within the Human Resources Organization Unit might be different to the same position in the Finance Organization Unit, for example. An Organization Unit can contain many Positions.

You can specify an ideal number of people to have in a Position by specifying the Number field. This does not mean that you must have this number of resources in that position or that only resources with these requirements can fulfill this position. You can specify what the ideal requirements of the position are.

You can specify privileges and system actions associated with a Position. As an example of privileges the Accounts Organization Unit might be able to sign off expenses up to $500 for example, but the Accounts Manager might be authorized to sign off expenses up to $1000. Whether positions inherit the privileges specified for an Organization Unit is determined by the run-time environment to which the Organization Model is exported. It is not defined in the Organization Modeler itself.

For each Position, there are various properties you can assign. For example, you can specify the location of the Position and how long it should exist for, and you can also specify Capabilities and Resources for a Position.
