Organizations and teams

An organization is the workspace everything in EvoHub belongs to: alerts, schedules, monitors, status pages, boards, docs sites, changelogs, members and the bill. Teams are groups of people inside an organization. This page explains how to work with both.

#Organizations

Every organization is separate from every other. Data created in one organization is never visible from another, and each organization has its own members, roles, teams, API keys and billing.

You can belong to several organizations, with a different role in each:

• Your personal organization is created when you sign up. You are its Owner, and it cannot be deleted.
• Organizations you create. Open the organization switcher in the top bar, choose New Organization, enter an Organization name and select Create. You become its Owner. One account can own up to 5 organizations.
• Organizations you are invited to. See Join through an invitation.

My Account → Settings lists every organization you belong to and your role in each.

#Switch organizations

Open the organization switcher in the top bar and pick an organization. The console reloads in that organization: every product, member list and bill you see is now that organization's.

If the organization you switch to requires two-factor authentication and you have not set it up, EvoHub asks you to set it up first. See Two-factor authentication.

#Rename an organization

Open Organization → Org Settings, change Organization Name and select Save. This needs the Organization Settings write permission, which Owners and Admins have.

#Invite people

Inviting is free: EvoHub never charges per member.

Inviting needs the Members → Invite permission. The default Member and Admin roles include it.

#Manage pending invitations

Organization → Invitations lists pending invitations. From there you can resend an invitation email or cancel an invitation. An invitation is valid for 7 days; after that, send a new one.

#Join through an invitation

Open the link in the invitation email.

• If you already have an EvoHub account, sign in with the email address the invitation was sent to and accept. An invitation can only be accepted by the account with that exact email address.
• If you are new to EvoHub, create your account from the invitation page. Because the invitation already proved you own the email address, you do not need to verify it again.

After you accept, the organization appears in your organization switcher.

#Remove a member

Go to Organization → Members, select Remove on the member's row and confirm. They lose access to the organization immediately. Removing members needs the Members → Write permission, which Owners and Admins have. The Owner cannot be removed, and you cannot remove yourself this way.

A removed member's personal API keys for that organization stop working at the same time. See API keys and scopes.

#Teams

A team is a named group of people in an organization. Teams do two things:

• Scope work. Schedules, monitors, boards and retros can belong to a team. Work that belongs to a team is visible to that team's members; work that belongs to no team is visible across the organization. Owners and Admins see every team's work.
• Carry roles. Give a team a role and everyone in the team holds that role for as long as they are in it. Remove someone from the team and they lose it.

#Create a team

Creating and editing teams needs the Teams → Write permission, which the default Member and Admin roles include. Everyone can see the teams they are in, even without permission to read all teams.

#Delete an organization

Only the Owner can delete an organization, and a personal organization cannot be deleted.
