In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 a new feature has been added to the security model to display hierarchical position based on the manager field. This will provide a visual representation of a hierarchical structure for a manager which is much easy to understand.  In other words if Sudeep is a manager at XRM Labs and Anurag and Krishan report to him, the hierarchy will show Sudeep at the top and Anurag and Krishan below Sudeep. The best part about Hierarchical Security Model is that based on the reporting Hierarchy the manager also has access to the crm records of his/her subordinates. This is a very welcome changes. Now the security model of CRM is in line with real world functioning of organizations.
