Organization

An organization is the top-level unit in Kumoy, designed for the centralized management of members, teams, and usage. It serves as the foundation for sharing projects and data across multiple users.

About Organizations#

• Members, teams, and projects are all managed within a single organization.
• Each project belongs to an organization and is assigned to exactly one team.
• Usage (such as storage) is calculated at the organization level.
• A user can be a member of multiple organizations.
• Each organization member is assigned a seat type that determines whether they can create or edit maps and data.
• Organization management features are available on the Business plan and above, allowing you to invite members and control sharing permissions at the team level.

What an Organization Contains#

The basic hierarchy in Kumoy is as follows:

• Organization: The top-level entity. It holds the subscription plan, tracks global usage, and manages all members and teams.
• Team: A subgroup within an organization that defines sharing permissions and access levels (view/edit) for specific projects.
• Project: The primary workspace for your maps. It acts as a container where vectors, rasters, and maps are managed.
• Vector: Vector data managed in the cloud.
• Raster: Raster data managed in the cloud.
• Map: A saved and published state of a QGIS project.

What Is the Organization Management Feature?#

With the organization management feature, you can divide members into teams and manage the sharing permission of projects.
