Organization Roles

Organizations have two roles: administrators and members.

• Administrators have complete administrative access to the organization.
• Members are the default for everybody else. The project role that members gain in a project within an organization is configurable by the administrator. Members can view all other members within their organization.

Capabilities of each organization role:

* organization members can only perform the Add project to org action if the default project role is Developer or Administrator.

Creating Organizations

To create an organization:

1. Login to CI App
2. On the left sidebar select Organizations. This will open a new pane listing all the current organizations you belong to.
3. On the new pane in the top right click NEW ORGANIZATION.
4. Select the Add manually option by clicking + ADD.
5. Enter your desired organization name and click + ADD.

Managing Organizations

Organization management features are accessible by selecting Organizations from the left sidebar and then selecting the appropriate organization. The creator of an organization is an organization administrator and can manage members of the organization.

For a given organization, an organization administrator can set the default role for project members. This option is located under the GENERAL tab in the organization pane.

All members of an organization will have this role across all projects.

Under the MEMBERS tab in the organization pane, organization administrators can add and remove members from the organization. They can also promote other members to administrators.

Customizing Organizations

Visual aspects of each organization can be customized to suit your preferences. After you have created your organization, The options below are all available under a specific organization’s settings provided you are an organization administrator.

Add Custom Logo

You can add a logo for a specific organization. Whenever someone is interacting with this organization, the logo in the top left of the UI will be the one you applied. You can set a different logo for light mode and dark mode. The appropriate logo will be displayed based on the mode a user has specified in their user settings.

Create Custom Color Scheme

You can specify a custom color scheme for the UI. Similarly to logos, you can specify a color scheme for an organization based on which mode a user has specified, either light mode or dark mode. Colors can be selected using a color palette by clicking on one of the colored boxes or specifying the appropriate hex code.

When selecting with the color palette, you can click SAVE COLOR in the popup box to preview the color. Colors will not be permanently saved until you select SAVE SETTINGS in the bottom right. You can restore the default color scheme at any time by clicking RESET and then SAVE SETTINGS.
