Department as a security group
You can also use departments as security groups. In addition to manual user groups, you can directly assign a whole department to access a mission or a funnel. Ensure you always keep the user's department up to date, and items' security (and visibility) will work accordingly.
Departments in the 'Innovation Portal'
On the Innovation portal (where users land), you have a section you can turn show/hide on the home page to show departments. Users can click on the department link and see all the ideas, projects, missions, and users connected to that department.
This is very useful for providing departments/teams with a way to feel their own innovations.
Tip: The users on the department landing page are always sorted based on XP, so you have a leaderboard of department users there.
