# Organization
DISCLAIMER:
This page contains information related to upcoming products, features, and functionality.
It is important to note that the information presented is for informational purposes only.
Please do not rely on this information for purchasing or planning purposes.
As with all projects, the items mentioned on this page are subject to change or delay.
The development, release, and timing of any products, features, or functionality remain at the

NOTE:
Organization is in development.
Organization will be above the [top-level namespaces](../namespace/index.md) for you to manage
everything you do as a GitLab administrator, including:
- Defining and applying settings to all of your groups, subgroups, and projects.
- Aggregating data from all your groups, subgroups, and projects.
Our goal is to reach feature parity between SaaS and self-managed installations, with all
[Admin Area settings](/ee/user/admin_area/settings/index.md) moving to either:
- Groups. Available in the Organization, and subgroups.
- Hardware Controls. For functionality that does not apply to groups, Hardware Controls are only
applicable to self-managed installations. There is one Hardware Controls section per installation.
For more information about the state of organization development,
see [epic 9265](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9265).
