Organizations

Organizations are the top level workspace in Devopness. They group teams, roles, and projects in one place.

About

• An organization is a dedicated space for one company, legal entity, or client portfolio
• Every organization has a readable URL slug, like acme in /@acme
• People join through invitation, or team membership
• It is where team access and project setup are set

Who should use this

• Developers who want one simple place for shared projects
• Team leads managing multiple products, clients, or teams
• Founders who want a clear setup before adding many environments

Organization vs Project

• Organizations hold one or more projects
• A project groups environments for one product or client
• An environment is a container for deployable resources, such as an app, server setup, or data store

Think of it like this:

• Organization: the shared home for everyone in one company, like /@acme
• Project: one product or client inside that organization
• Environment: one stage inside that project, like Development, Staging, Production

Why organizations exist

• They keep teams, roles, and projects in one place
• They give founders one place to control who can see and change what
• They let you grow from one project to many without redesigning structure

Start here

• Create your first organization and get a stable /@{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 control access

Who can manage an organization

• Organization owners
• Team members with an organization role that allows managing organization settings
• Members with project roles can work in project areas
• Members with environment roles can contribute to specific environments

Typical setup flow

• Start with one organization for the main legal entity or one agency account
• Add one project per major product, portfolio, or client
• Use separate environments (Production, Staging, Development) inside each project

Common questions at this level

• Can I see all projects in one place? Yes, by selecting the right organization
• Why can't I edit org settings? Check your role and permissions first

Next

• Use Projects to create your first project
• Use Teams and Roles to define access
