Archil organizations enable sharing administrative control of a disk in the Archil console with multiple members of a team.

Creating an organization

You can create an organization by clicking the “Personal account” dropdown in the top right corner of the screen and selecting “Create Organization”. When you create an organization, the “slug” for that organization will become the prefix when mounting an organization-owned disk. For example, if you create an organization with the slug “my-org”, you can mount an organization-owned disk with the name “my-org/my-disk”.

Managing disks in an organization

When you create a disk in the Archil console, it will automatically be owned by the organization that is selected in the top-right corner of the screen. When you view the list of disks in your Archil account, the list will only show disks that are owned by the organization that is selected in the top-right corner of the screen. You can use the dropdown in the top-right corner of the screen to switch between your personal account and any organizations you belong to.

Managing members in an organization

If you are the administrator of an organization, you can manage the members of the organization by clicking the “Manage” button next to the organization name in dropdown in the top-right corner of the screen, and navigating to the “Members” tab. Members can be assigned either a “Member” or an “Administrator” role. Members with the “Member” role have the ability to view and manage the disks in the organization, including deelting disks and managing the authorization of disk users. Members with the “Administrator” role have the same permissions as the “Member” role, but also have the ability to manage the organization itself, including adding and removing members.
