Clarification of statusses:

• NEW - organizational unit is created in the system, users have several possibilities to edit it, it is still not considered as a resource that can be used to relate it to other resources in the system (except in cases stated above, assign parents, assign children). In other words, new organizational units are visible only internally within the "Organizational unit handler" and the solution that manages organizational units.
• OPENED - organizational unit is valid it is used by the system, can be related to other resources in the system (i.e. to users, contexts etc)
• CLOSED - organizational unit is closed (it officially does not exist any longer, it is visible as in case of "OPENED" but it can not be related to "new resources" or new relations can not be created to existing resources).
