This is how you should set up your Google Workspace organizational units

Organizational Units (OUs) are the foundation of your Google Workspace for Education setup.
OUs make it possible to create targeted policies for groups of users (like elementary students) and devices (like Chromebook carts).
Creating too many OUs will make managing your Google domain overly complicated, but creating too few OUs will result in rigid policies that might not work for all users.
This video will review the best practices for creating an OU structure that will work for your school.

Hello sir Namastey from india

[@jeffb1328]

Great video! can you copy permissions from one OU to another?

[@googleadminbootcamp]

No, which is why it is helpful to nest them. Child OUs inherit the permission of the parent.
