When using the platform, it's important to know the difference between an organisation and a team. Both play crucial roles in how you manage your projects and users, but they have different functions and features.
Organisations
An Organisation is your top-level workspace. It’s where everything starts when you first set up the platform. Think of it as your overall business entity or main hub, where all projects, users, and teams are managed.
Teams - Your organisation is like the umbrella under which all your teams live. You can have multiple teams each with multiple users and permissions.
Multiple Organisations - You’re not limited to just one. If there are multiple businesses or departments, you can have separate organisations for each.
User Management - At the Organisation level, you can assign roles and permissions, decide who can access what, and manage everything from team creation to submission handling.
Teams
A team is a smaller group within an organisation, designed for users working together on specific projects. Teams help keep things organised by allowing focused collaboration with their own set of permissions and roles.
User Grouping - Teams are where you group users who need to collaborate on specific projects. Each team has its own members and set of permissions.
Permissions - Each team operates with its own set of rules. You might have access to one team but not another within the same organisation, giving you the flexibility to manage who sees what.
Multiple Teams - You can be part of multiple teams. This is great if you’re juggling several projects or collaborating with different groups within the same organisation.
Creating a Team - You can easily create teams within the organisation settings. Just add users, set permissions, and manage the team’s activities from there.
