Organizations

In Hyphen, an Organization is a collaborative workspace where your team can manage multiple projects under a shared billing account. Organizations provide a central place to control project permissions, manage billing, and invite users to collaborate on one or more projects. Each project in Hyphen belongs to an organization, and users within an organization can collaborate across projects based on their assigned roles.

Membership

Each user in Hyphen has a personal account. Multiple personal accounts can collaborate within the same organization. Organization membership allows users to contribute to projects, access resources, and, depending on their role, manage the organization itself.

Organization Owners

Members can be assigned the Organization Owner role, which grants them control over the organization’s settings, billing, and user access. A member who creates a Hyphen organization is automatically assigned the org owner role.

Owners can manage permissions for both the organization and individual projects, allowing them to tailor access for team members as needed.

Roles and Access

You can invite people to join your organization and assign them a role that grants different levels of access to the organization’s resources. Role assignments can be organization-wide or specific to individual projects:

• Organization-Level Roles: These roles govern access to the organization’s settings, including billing and overall membership.
• Project-Level Roles: These roles define what users can do within specific projects, such as managing secrets, configurations, or code repositories.

Project-Based Access

While organization-level roles define broad access, project-specific roles allow you to fine-tune access controls within individual projects. For example, you may want someone to contribute to a project without giving them full administrative access to the organization. For more information, see "Projects"

In summary, organizations in Hyphen provide a structured, scalable way for teams to collaborate on projects with clear access control and billing management. You can invite team members, assign them the appropriate roles, and manage who has access to what across both the organization and individual projects.
