Managing Organizations

Creating Organizations

Organizations allow you to group your projects and the users permitted access to those projects. Every project belongs to an organization, and each organization is separate. An organization has one or more members. You can create, or be invited to, more than one organization. For example, you could create an organization for your personal work or side project, and also be invited to join your company’s organization.

To create an organization:

  1. Click menu at the top right of the page that displays your username, and select Account Settings.
  2. Click Organizations.
  3. Click Create a New Organization.
  4. In Organization Name, enter the name to display in the ActiveState Platform.
  5. Accept the suggested URL based on your Organization Name, or specify a shorter, easier to remember URL.

  6. Click Create Organization.

    When you create an organization, you are automatically assigned ownership of the Organization, which allows you to invite and manage users for the Organization.

  7. The next step after creating a new Organization is to invite users. For more information, see Sending invites.

Sending Invites

You can invite other users to join your organization. Each user you invite will receive an email with a unique link that allows them to accept your invitation and access the data associated with your organization. If they are not already users of the ActiveState Platform they will need to create an account.

Invited users are listed in the Pending Invites list until they accept the invite to the organization. You can resend the email, if necessary, by clicking the Resend link.

Note: You must be an owner of an organization to invite users.

  1. Click Your Dashboard at the top of any page.
  2. Click the name of the organization you want to invite users to in the Your Organizations list.
  3. Click the Members tab.
  4. In the Invite a New Member panel enter the email address of the user to invite.
  5. Users are added as members by default. If you want the user to administer the organization select Owner. Owners can invite users, remove users, and switch users between owner and member for the organization.
  6. Click Send Invite.

Removing Users

If you are an Owner of an organization, you can remove users that belong to that organization. Once removed, the user’s access to all data associated with the organization will be immediately revoked.

Note: If you want to remove yourself from the Organization, ensure that the Organization has at least one owner and navigate to the Organizations Account Settings page to leave the Organization.

  1. Click Your Dashboard at the top of any page.
  2. Click the name of the organization you want to remove users from in the Your Organizations list.
  3. Click the Members tab.
