Organizations

​

Overview

Organizations let a group own and manage projects separately from an individual user account. Like users, organizations can own projects. Unlike individual users, organizations can have members, roles, storage controls, and administrative settings. Use organizations when project ownership should belong to a group, program, company, customer, or long-lived engineering effort rather than a single user.

​

What Organizations Manage

Organizations can manage:

• Organization-owned projects.
• Members and access.
• Project administration.
• Storage usage and storage tiers.
• Organization-level settings.
• Admin surfaces for users with the required permissions.

Service accounts and API-key governance for organizations are planned, but only shipped public API behavior is documented in the Developer API section.

​

Organization Projects

Organization-owned projects are managed by the organization rather than a personal account. This helps teams keep important project ownership stable even when individual users change roles. Organization project admins can manage project metadata, collaborators, and access based on their permissions. Organization members can inherit access to organization-owned projects. Public and internal organization-owned projects are visible to organization members even when they are not direct project collaborators.

​

Members And Roles

Organization roles control what members can see and manage. Higher-privilege members can administer organization settings, project membership, storage, or billing-related controls depending on deployment configuration. Exact available actions depend on your role and deployment. Common organization roles include Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer. Owners and Admins inherit strong administrative access to organization-owned projects. Members and Viewers inherit more limited access based on the role and project visibility.

​

Organization Visibility

Organization visibility controls whether the organization can be publicly visible and whether its public projects can be accessed by anonymous visitors. For an organization-owned project to be public to anonymous users, both the organization and the project must be public.

​

Storage

Organizations can have storage usage and storage limits separate from individual users. Organization storage controls may include usage summaries, storage tier changes, grace periods, and project-level storage visibility.

​

Billing Relationship

Organization billing behavior depends on how the organization was created and whether it belongs to a team. Some organizations are paid directly; others are managed through team billing or enterprise deployment controls.

​

Admin Tab

Users with sufficient permissions may see an organization Admin area. This area can expose project administration, storage information, and other organization management tools. Use the Admin tab for organization-wide management. Use the project page or Editor project settings for project-specific work.
