Organizations

Organizations are the top-level workspace for your work in Devopness.

About

• An organization is the top-level workspace in Devopness.
• It is a shared workspace for one company or legal entity.
• Each organization gets a unique readable URL slug (for example acme in /@acme).
• Personal accounts can own organizations or be invited to collaborate in organizations created by other users.
• Organizations group projects, teams, and roles.

Who should use this

• Developers who want one clean workspace for shared projects.
• Team leads managing multiple products, clients, or teams.
• Founders who want predictable collaboration, visibility and productivity from day one.

Organization vs Project

• Organization owns projects and sets the top-level permissions management (teams and roles).
• Project groups multiple related environments.
• Environment is a container for related cloud infrastructure resources, applications, SSL Certificates, Linux services, databases, etc

Think of it like this:

• Organization: your shared workspace, like /@{slug}
• Project: a bucket for one product or client
• Environment: stages inside that project, like Development, Staging, Production

Why organizations exist

• They keep ownership and team activity in one place.
• They make team access and responsibilities easier to manage.
• They provide a predictable path to scale without changing product structure.

Start here

• Create a new organization to secure your unique /@{url_slug}.
• Confirm it is the one where the project should live.
• Create your first project.
• Use Teams and invite members to collaborate in the organization
• Add Roles to manage delegated access permissions.

Who can manage an organization

• Organization owners
• Team members with an organization role that allows managing organization settings
• Any member with project-level roles can work in project areas according to permissions.
• Any member with environment-level roles can contribute to specific environments

Common questions at this level

• Can I see all projects from one place? Yes, when you are on the right organization.
• Why can't I edit org settings? Check your role and permission set first.

Common issues

• You only see a subset of projects because your permissions are limited.
• You are looking at the wrong organization.
• You cannot edit organization settings because your role is not owner.

Next

• Use Projects to create your first scoped workspace.
• Use Teams and Roles to define access.
