# Accounts and modules
## Accounts
Accounts occupy the first sublevel in the organization, and reflect separate entities for larger company divisions or client accounts. Accounts are often used for subsidiaries within an organization or for customer accounts within an Managed Service Provider (MSP). Accounts hold users, permissions, and modules. For smaller organizations, a single account can be used.
See [Org Setup Use Cases](broken://pages/zYBdqbBTlTzgxRukGjkU) for information about determining the number of accounts you need.
## Modules
Modules help you organize different workflows within your account, ensuring a structured approach to managing assets, employees, maintenance, and other key processes. Each module serves as a dedicated space for a specific use case. For example, you can manage separate modules for facilities management and IT equipment tracking. The flexibility of modules enables you to streamline operations, improve clarity, and ensure that users only interact with the information relevant to their roles.
