Organizations
Creating an Organization, its first Space, inviting people, switching between Organizations, renaming and deleting one.
An Organization is the company, team or client you work for in Obelism. It holds the people (each with one role), which products they may use, the Spaces your sites live in, and billing. It is the same Organization in Improve, Content, Numbers and Media: invite someone once and they reach every product you let them.
You can belong to several Organizations, an agency with a few clients for example, with a different role in each.
Creating one
Create organization on your dashboard makes one, with you as its admin.
Note
While Obelism is in beta, creating an Organization takes an invite code. Request one from the create page (or apply). Once it's approved, the code is filled in for you, for the email address you verified. Joining an Organization someone invited you to needs no code.
Next you name its first Space: the site or project you start with. The products open in it from then on, and you can add more Spaces any time. An Organization always has at least one.
Inviting people
Admins invite people from the Organization's People tab:
- Invite people, then one or more email addresses (up to 50 at once), each with a role. The role starts as reader.
- Each person gets an email with a link that works for 72 hours. Resend sends a fresh link; Revoke makes the old one stop working.
- They sign in or sign up with that email address, verify it, and accept. An invite also shows on their dashboard once they've signed in.
Invites are matched by email address, which is why an account's email can't be changed. Someone who is already a member, or already invited, is skipped.
On the same tab admins change a member's role, choose which products they may use, and remove them. Each change has an Undo. See Roles for what can't be changed.
Switching
The switcher in every product's sidebar picks the Organization and Space you work in, and switching in one product switches all of them: open Improve after switching in Content and it's on the same Space. Switch organization on www lists every Organization you belong to with your role in each.
The environment (develop, staging or production) is not shared: each product remembers its own.
The Organization's page
www.obelism.studio/dashboard leads to each Organization's page, with these tabs:
| Tab | What's there | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Spaces | Its Spaces, each with its own page; creating one | Everyone |
| People | Members and their roles, product access and invites | Everyone sees it; admins change it |
| Products | Which products the Organization uses; switching Improve or Content on or off | Everyone sees it; admins change it |
| Billing | The plan, usage and invoices | Admins |
| Organization settings | Its name, and deleting it | Admins |
Renaming and deleting
Admins rename the Organization under Organization settings. Its slug, used in some URLs, stays the same.
Delete organization, also there, deletes it for every product once you type its slug. Its sites stop at once: Improve's datafile answers not found, Numbers refuses new events and Content stops serving. Its Spaces, content, files and events are removed for good 30 days later.
Watch out
Deleting an Organization takes every Space and every product's data with it. To keep a site, transfer its Space to another Organization first.
For agents
An agent manages Organizations through the MCP server with the same rights as the person who connected it: createOrganization (with an invite code), listMembers, inviteMembers, updateMember, removeMember, listInvites and acceptInvite. Deleting an Organization is never an agent's call: the MCP server doesn't offer it. See What an agent may do.
