A Jenkins wide Governance Tier can be configured in Manage Jenkins > Configure System under the Jenkins Templating Engine section header. This Governance Tier will apply to all jobs in Jenkins.

A Governance Tier can then be configured on any folder within Jenkins, including multibranch jobs or GitHub Organization Jobs.

You can create a governance hierarchy in JTE matching your organizational hierarchy by organizing your jobs accordingly within Jenkins and configuring a Governance Tier globally and on the corresponding Folders within Jenkins.
