            Available for an additional cost in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with Sales Planning in English only, and only if you have Web Services API enabled
            User Permissions Needed
            To establish hierarchies:

            Data Pipelines Base User permission set

            The number of nodes that you add within your hierarchy can impact performance. If you plan to add more than 100 nodes within any parent node, test thoroughly for performance issues. For the best performance, add no more than 100 nodes to any parent node.
