  -The organization and environment entities defined in Cockpit are equivalent to the same entities in APIM and AM, including the roles you can define for them (for example, the `ORGNIZATION_OWNER` role exists in both APIM and AM).
  -All nodes can belong to multiple environments, but only the Gateway node organization and environments are configurable in APIM and AM.

  |===
  |Entity | Description | Additional information
  
  |Account
  |The top level entity, your company. One user can have multiple accounts.
  |
  
  |Organization
  |A logical part of your company in the way that makes most sense in your setup, for example a region or business unit. There can be multiple organizations linked to one account.
  .2+|The organization and environment entities defined in Cockpit are equivalent to the same entities in APIM and AM, including the roles you can define for them (for example, the `ORGNIZATION_OWNER` role exists in both APIM and AM).
  
  Learn more about organizations and environments in link:/apim/3.x/apim_adminguide_organizations_and_environments.html[APIM^] and link:/am/current/am_adminguide_organizations_and_environments.html[AM^].
  
  |Environment
  |An environment in an IT infrastructure, such as development or production. There can be multiple environments linked to one organization.
  
  |Installation
  
  Node
  |APIM and AM installations, linked to environments in Cockpit.
  Each linked APIM and AM installation automatically reports its REST API and Gateway nodes to Cockpit.
  |Nodes can belong to multiple environments. You can configure the organizations and environments associated with Gateway nodes in APIM and AM, by updating the Gateway configuration files.
  
  Only Gateway nodes are configurable in this way, not REST API nodes.
  
  Learn more about updating a Gateway configuration in the `gravitee.yml` file in link:/apim/3.x/apim_installguide_gateway_configuration.html[APIM^] and link:/am/current/am_installguide_gateway_configuration.html[AM^].
