Create an organization#

Organizations provide shared namespaces for team-owned projects. Create one when a project should be published under an organization name instead of your personal username.

Organization creation starts as a request. After the request is approved, the organization namespace is created and you become an owner of the organization.

Before you start#

You need a Sysand Index account and an organization name that is not already used by another user or organization.

Organization names:

are 3-50 characters long
use lowercase letters, numbers, and single hyphens
cannot start or end with a hyphen
share the same global namespace as usernames

For more context on how names become project identifiers, see Project name and publisher fields.

Submit the organization request#

Go to Organizations.
Under Request new organization, enter the organization name.
Enter a display name.
Optionally add a website and description.
Press Submit request.

The request appears in the pending-requests table with status Pending review.

On test.sysand.com the request is approved automatically; on sysand.com it stays pending until staff review it. Once the request is approved, the organization appears on your Organizations page.

Check a pending request#

Go to Organizations to see your organizations and pending organization requests.

If you submitted the wrong name or no longer need the organization, press Cancel on the pending request and submit a new one.

Set up the organization after approval#

After the organization exists, open it from Organizations to finish setup:

Update the organization profile if the display name, website, or description needs changes.
Invite organization members who should help manage the namespace or join organization teams.
Publish projects into the organization namespace.
If several organization members should share project roles, set up organization team access.

For exact organization and project role capabilities, see Roles and permissions.
