Organizations let you share disks across your team, manage billing separately from personal usage, and delegate disk administration to team members. If you’re working solo, you can skip this — personal accounts work for everything. Organizations become useful when multiple people need to create, configure, or mount the same disks.

​
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. There is no limit on the number of disks you can create in an organization — create as many as you need. Archil is fully elastic: there’s no per-disk fee, and billing is based on usage rather than disk count, so patterns like a disk per tenant, per workspace, or per agent are expected.

​
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 deleting 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.
