# Organization

### Description

The **Organization** is a common space that is supposed to host projects accessible to the same group of people or teams.

The first account created on <mark style="color:$primary;">**Brainboard**</mark> will be, by default, the owner of the organization and <mark style="color:$primary;">**Brainboard**</mark> creates a *<mark style="color:$primary;">new team</mark>* and a *<mark style="color:$primary;">new project</mark>* for this account as part of the onboarding process.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are planning to work with your colleagues in the same organization, you should invite them or add them to the same **SSO** group.
{% endhint %}

The organization is automatically created upon sign-up.

### Default organization roles

There are four default roles within the organization.

#### 1. Owner

The <mark style="color:$primary;">**owner**</mark> of the organization can perform any action. It is usually the first account created.

#### 2. Admin

The <mark style="color:$primary;">**admin**</mark> can perform any action on the organization except deleting it and managing billing information.

#### 3. Member

At the organization level, a <mark style="color:$primary;">**member**</mark> can:

* List other members
* List and create teams
* List and create projects.

{% hint style="danger" icon="xmark" %} <mark style="color:$primary;">**Members**</mark> cannot invite users or delete them. They cannot see or change the billing, and they only see projects they have access to and not all projects.
{% endhint %}

#### 4. Guest

A <mark style="color:$primary;">**Guest**</mark> is a read-only user that only has access to projects that admins or owners have allowed it to access.

{% hint style="danger" icon="xmark" %}
By default, a guest has access to nothing.
{% endhint %}
