About Organizations
Organizations are the top-level containers in your account.
Each organization represents a distinct business, project, or
operational boundary. All clients, users, and groups belong to an
organization, and may not cross between organizations unless they
are explicitly enrolled.
Every organization has a single owner (a user), who may
transfer ownership to another user if needed. While organizations
can contain many clients and many users, administrative actions are
always performed by users — clients cannot administer or modify
organizations directly.
Clients, Members, and Groups
A client may be attached to one or more groups inside the
same organization. Groups are used to define access tiers or
membership segments — for example:
general members for a forumpremium subscribers with additional privileges- separate groups for different offerings or service levels
Groups are organization-scoped. A client cannot join a
group in another organization unless that client is independently
registered to that organization.
Purpose of Organizations
Organizations allow you to create isolated member pools that can
validate access to your offerings and services. This lets you manage:
- user communities for different businesses or projects
- premium vs. free access tiers
- application-specific client registries
- separate identity spaces for multiple brands
For example, you might maintain:
- a forum community with
general and premium groups
- a news website with entirely different membership requirements
Both can live under separate organizations, each with its own set of
clients, users, and groups — without interfering with each other.
