What is an Organization?

Your Organization (Org) represents your company’s workspace within the Encord platform. The Organization dashboard is where you manage and keep track of all users, Projects and Datasets that belong to your Organization in Encord.

​
Entity Relationships

The following diagram shows how entities in Encord are organized.
  • Users are invited to, and entities are created within an Organization.
  • Projects bring together Ontologies, Datasets, and Workflows.
  • A Project can have multiple Datasets attached to it, but only one Ontology.
  • One Ontology can be attached to multiple Projects.

​
Multiple Organizations

Enterprise customers can have multiple Organizations, each with its own users, Projects, and Datasets. Users can belong to more than one Organization and hold different roles in each. A user’s role in a specific Organization determines their access and permissions. To switch between Organizations:
  1. Select the Org switcher dropdown displaying the current Organization’s name.
  2. Choose the Organization you want to switch to from the list.

​
Creating Organizations

When you join Encord, we create an entry for your company as an Organization into our database, with one or more individuals from your business as Admins of the Organization.
We offer the flexibility to associate any email domains with your company’s Organization. This way, when users sign up using a specific email domain, they are automatically integrated into your Organization. You have the option to assign different user roles based on the email domain - typically, email addresses with your company’s domain are designated as Internal roles, while other chosen domains can be categorized under Workforce or External roles.

Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication

To ensure the security of all your Organizations, Encord can enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA). Once enabled, members are prompted to set up MFA and cannot log in until it is configured. To enable this feature, contact support@encord.com.
