# Organizations and teams

Roles, invitations, teams, and how your personal workspace relates to the organizations you join.

Canonical: https://easerix.com/docs/platform/orgs-and-teams

<Answer label="How organizations work in Easerix">
An Easerix organization is a shared workspace with four roles — owner, admin,
billing, and member — and optional teams inside it, each with leads and
members. You always keep a private personal workspace alongside every
organization you join, and you switch between them without signing out.

New to Easerix? [Getting started](/getting-started) covers signing up and
creating your first organization. This page goes deeper: what each role can
do, how invitations work, and what teams are for. Everything here lives at
[account.easerix.com](https://account.easerix.com).

## Roles

Every member of an organization has exactly one role. Roles map to
permissions, and both the apps and the APIs check permissions the same way.

| What you can do | owner | admin | billing | member |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use enabled tools, see the member directory | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Create teams (and lead the teams you create) | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Invite members, change roles, remove members | ✓ | ✓ | — | — |
| Manage all teams, tool access, org profile, domains | ✓ | ✓ | — | — |
| See the org audit log | ✓ | ✓ | — | — |
| Manage billing | ✓ | — | ✓ | — |
| Delete the org, transfer ownership | ✓ | — | — | — |

Two guardrails: admins can't change an owner's role or promote anyone to
owner, and the last owner can never be removed or demoted.

## Invite people

Open your organization's **Members** page and click **Invite**. There are two
ways in:

1. **Email invitations** — enter one or more addresses (comma-separated),
   pick a role (**member** or **admin**), and click **Send invites**.
   Invitees land in the organization in one click; people who don't have an
   Easerix account yet sign up straight into it — their own personal
   workspace is still created alongside.
2. **Shareable invite link** — click **Create invite link** and copy the URL.
   Anyone with the link joins as a **member** (link invites can't grant
   admin). The Members page shows how many people have joined through it.

Pending email invitations and active links are listed under
**Pending invitations**, where you can **Revoke** either at any time.

You can also let colleagues find the organization by their email domain —
see [Verified domains](/platform/domains).

## Teams

Teams group people inside an organization — a unit tools can share work with.

- **Anyone in the org can create a team** (org → **Teams** → **New team**).
  The creator becomes its **lead**.
- Team roles are **lead** and **member**. A lead manages the team's
  membership; org owners and admins can manage every team.
- Deleting a team removes its membership for everyone but doesn't touch any
  tool data that referenced it.

## Switching workspaces

The workspace switcher at the top of [app.easerix.com](https://app.easerix.com)
lists **Personal** plus every organization you belong to (you can create an
organization right from it). Switching changes which workspace's data every
tool shows; your session stays signed in throughout.

## Your personal workspace

Every account has one personal workspace, created automatically at signup.
It behaves differently from an organization on purpose:

- **It's yours alone** — it has no members and cannot be shared, so it has no
  invites, teams, or domains.
- **Every tool is always on** — [tool access](/platform/tool-access) toggles
  only apply to organizations.
- **Joining an organization never costs you anything** — your personal
  workspace stays in the switcher no matter how many orgs you join or leave.
- **It can't be deleted on its own or converted into an organization** — it
  only goes away if you delete your whole account, and sharing work means
  creating an organization instead.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I belong to several organizations?

Yes, with a different role in each. The workspace switcher lists them all,
and switching never signs you out.

### What happens to someone who's removed from an organization?

They lose access to that organization's shared resources immediately. Their
personal workspace — and their membership in any other organization — is
unaffected.

### Can a regular member invite people?

No. Inviting, changing roles, and removing members require the owner or
admin role. Members can create teams, though.

### Can I move my personal work into an organization?

There's no bulk conversion — the personal workspace can't become an org.
Create an organization, switch to it, and create the work you want to share
there.

### Who can change who's an owner?

Only an owner. Admins manage members but can't touch owners or grant the
owner role, and the last owner can't be removed or demoted.
