* [Organizations and environments](management-apis-overview/environment-management-apis.html)

  PingOne uses an organization-based model to define tenant accounts and their related entities. The organization is the top-level identifier. It defines your entire enterprise within the PingOne platform.

  An organization contains one or more environments. Environments define separate working domains within an organization. Environments are used to model geographieswithin a large global enterprise such as NA (North America) or EU (European Union). They are also used as the defining entity to segregate enterprise operations by functionality, staging environments, or configurations.

* [Applications](management-apis-overview/application-management-apis.html)

  PingOne applications define the connection between PingOne and a client application.

* [Users](management-apis-overview/identity-management-apis.html)

  An identity is a unique user resource within PingOne that interacts with the applications and services in the environment to which the user is assigned. The PingOne platform includes numerous services that define and configure a user identity.
