A Hokies organizational unit (OU) admin is a Hokies user account that has elevated rights over a specific subset of other Hokies Active Directory (AD) user accounts (technically AD objects) in a container that is called an organizational unit within the Virginia Tech AD. Hokies OU admins are typically departmental IT staff.  A Hokies OU admin is delegated permissions to manage aspects of the Hokies users and groups within the Hokies AD domain, create shared resources, and manage individual storage allocations.  OUs map to departments based on Domain Name Services (DNS) zone naming. In essence, if there exists a DNS domain zone like "x.cc.vt.edu" then there will be a corresponding "CC" OU in Hokies.
