How can we create separate Companies/Divisions on same Casper Server

Is there a way to have 2 separate divisions or companies in the Casper Suite? Basically, we are one company, but have 2 divisions that should not be able to see each other's inventory, devices, etc. On the same Casper Admin server, is there a way to have users from 2 different divisions log in but only get access to their division's devices?
Forgive the generality of this question, we are still Casper noobs and have not worked much with the software.
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks,
Brian

You will want to use the "Sites" feature when organizing your Casper infrastructure. I presume you will have one "overall admin" who can see both, but have one or more admin that should ONLY see one site or the other. If this is the case, Sites are what you want. Check the Sites feature out in the Admin guide as it talks about it at length.

Thank you, that is exactly what we were looking for.

Be aware of the limitations of sites. This biggest is an item cannot be a member of multiple sites. So a policy, for instance, that everyone needs to access would need to be replicated for each site in the JSS.

We were excited about this functionality but ultimately it never met our needs.
