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.
• Organization management features are available on the Team 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 and maps are managed.
• Vector: Vector 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.

For details on the concepts and procedures, refer to What Is the Organization Management Feature?. For specific configuration steps, see Manage Organization and Manage Teams.

Switching Organizations#

Kumoy users can belong to multiple organizations and switch between them at any time.
