Glow Cloud Kit · Org Chart
A SharePoint org chart web part that draws how companies are actually structured - matrix teams, additional and dotted-line managers, contractors and vacant roles - with live presence, a card designer in your own colours, and a zero-setup default straight from Microsoft 365.
Starts with a Microsoft 365 sign-in, which activates your licence. Card required; cancel within 14 days and you're not charged.

ExternalCompact grouped layout with curved connectors: leaf teams gathered under each manager, live presence, an external contractor and a vacant role. Static preview - the real chart pans, zooms and re-roots.
Three ways to build it
Zero setup
Users and managers paged from Microsoft Graph, with 64px photos and presence. Nothing to provision.
Full control
The overrides list is the org: rows define everyone, including people not in Microsoft 365, and carry their job title, department and office location. Nothing is read from the directory here, so there are no photos or presence dots - and nothing to grant.
Recommended
The directory baseline with the overrides list applied on top - re-parent lines, add matrix managers, fix titles.
How it shows the org
Real orgs are not a single tree. The chart resolves a DAG - with cycle protection - and draws each kind of relationship distinctly, with a legend so anyone reading it knows exactly what they are seeing.
The primary reporting line, drawn as the tree.
A second solid-line manager - matrix reporting.
A dotted, functional line that isn't the main manager.
A contractor or partner not in Microsoft 365.
An open role, shown in place under its manager.
Built for the messy reality
Start from the Microsoft 365 directory with no configuration, layer a SharePoint overrides list on top, or drive the whole org from the list - including people who are not in Microsoft 365. Photos and presence enrich progressively and cache.
A DAG model with cycle protection: primary reports, additional solid-line managers, dotted functional lines, re-parented reporting, external contractors and vacant positions. Matrix teams drawn the way they actually work, not forced into one tree.
Drag to pan, Ctrl-scroll to zoom, fit-to-view and reset on a tidy-tree canvas. Click a card to re-root the chart on that person with a breadcrumb trail back to the top, or go full screen for a large org.
Ranked search across name, title and department; multi-select department and job-title filters with a live 'showing X of Y people' count; and collapse the whole chart to Level 1, 2, 3 or all levels at once.
Switch top-down, left-to-right or a compact grouped-team grid from the toolbar, with elbow, straight or curved connectors - and a connector colour of your choosing - applied consistently across every line.
Five card styles - Standard, Compact, Portrait, Accent bar and Spotlight - circle or rounded-square photos, a card colour picker with auto-contrasting text, and department chips that auto-colour from your site theme. All from the property pane, no templates.
Nine title banner styles - a solid colour, a soft tint, a gradient fade, two colours, a no-fill ghost, an underline, an accent bar, an overline label, or a background image with a readability overlay - in a pill or square shape and a colour of your own. The heading on your people page reads as your company rather than a SharePoint default, and existing charts stay exactly as they are until an author picks a style.
An in-part panel with people pickers adds, edits and deletes overrides, sets additional and functional managers, marks vacant roles and external people, and refreshes the chart live. Admins fix the org here, not in a raw list.
Live Teams presence on every card, plus hover quick-actions to chat, call or email straight from a person - so the chart is a directory you act from, not just a picture on a page.
Below tablet width the canvas becomes a drill-down list of the same org. Frame the part flush, outlined or elevated, on a solid or transparent background - it stays crisp on any coloured SharePoint section.
Design it your way

Colours & photos
Card and connector colours are yours to pick, text auto-contrasts for legibility, and department chips colour themselves from your site theme - so the chart matches your intranet without a design session. Frame it flush, outlined or elevated, on a solid or transparent background.
The title banner above the chart is styled the same way: pick one of the nine looks, from a full colour fill to a bare underline or an overline label, or sit the title on a background image with a readability overlay. Title contrast is computed against the real banner colour to WCAG ratios, so a banner in a brand colour keeps a legible title, and you can still set the title light or dark by hand.
How the others price it
| Product | How it is priced | When you grow |
|---|---|---|
| TeamOrgChart | $25/mo up to 200 employees, $60/mo up to 750, $140/mo above that | Crossing a band raises the price |
| Plumsail Org Chart | Banded by employee count: 1-200, 201-700, 701-3000 | Crossing a band raises the price |
| Glow Cloud Kit - Org Chart | £29/mo, no employee bands | The price at 50 people is the price at 5,000 |
To be fair to both: their end-user licences are unlimited too. The difference is the bands - hire past a boundary and their price steps up, while ours does not move. Competitor prices as published, September 2026. And the Complete Kit at £99/mo includes Org Chart plus 17 more web parts for less than TeamOrgChart's top band alone.
Least privilege, nothing new to approve
Org Chart uses just two read-only Graph scopes, User.Read.All and Presence.Read.All, both of which the Directory already uses, so existing customers grant nothing new. Photos and presence load progressively and are cached, and the overrides list is read and written on SharePoint as the signed-in user with no extra scope. It reads only what each person can already see.

Questions
It has three source modes. Microsoft 365 directory needs zero setup and pages users and managers from Microsoft Graph. A SharePoint overrides list can define the whole org, including people who are not in Microsoft 365. Hybrid, the recommended mode, applies the overrides list on top of the directory.
Yes. A SharePoint overrides list sits on top of the Microsoft 365 directory, so you can build a custom org chart that shows dotted lines, matrix managers, vacancies and contractors, or drive the whole organization chart from the list alone when the directory is not the source of truth.
Yes. Beyond the primary reporting line it renders additional solid-line managers, dotted functional managers, re-parented lines, vacant positions and external contractors, with cycle protection so a bad reporting loop never breaks the chart.
Two read-only scopes, User.Read.All and Presence.Read.All, the same set as the Directory, so existing customers grant nothing new. The overrides list is read and written on SharePoint as the signed-in user, with no extra scope.
