Organizations

Every organization on this Spider server. You add an organization here, and open one to work in it. Settings in Administration opens on this page.

How to get there

• From Administration's main menu: Settings, at the bottom. It opens on Organizations, the first item of the settings menu's General group.

The settings menu

Administration's settings have a menu of their own, on the left of every settings page. It shows only the pages you may open; a group with none of them is left out.

Group	Page	What it holds
General	Organizations	This page.
	Dashboards	Administration's dashboards: see Dashboards.
Security	Users	Everyone on the server: see Users.
	Groups	Every organization's groups: see Groups.
	Permissions	What each user or group may do in Administration, and so on the whole server: see Permissions.
Issues	Priorities	See Issue priorities.
	Actions	See Issue actions.
	Rules	See Rules.
Spider	Integration Modules	The modules organizations can activate: see Integration Modules.
	Agents	Every agent: see Agents.
	Agent-pools	Every agent-pool: see Agent-pools.
	Milestone Icons	The icons milestones are drawn with: see Milestone Icons.
Projectors	Core, Spider	The read models' projectors, for Spider's developers and operators. This guide doesn't describe them.

Settings shows in the main menu only with View settings, Manage permissions, Manage issue rules, actions and priorities or Full access. Someone with only View users or View groups, say, reaches those pages by their address.

Permission

The page needs View organizations, Manage organizations or View issues, in the Platform and Business support sections of Permissions. Add organization needs Manage organizations. Full access allows both. See Permissions.

The list

Column	Shows
Name	The organization's name, as its header shows it.
Slug	Its name in the addresses of its pages, such as /HarbourLogistics/processes.
Owner	Its owner, set when it was added.

Type in Search by name or slug to find an organization. Click Name or Slug to sort.

Double-click an organization, or select it and click Open, to go into it: to its dashboard, with its menu. From there, its Settings are its own: see Overview. When a colleague adds an organization, the list shows it by itself.

Administration itself is not on the list.

Commands

Tab	Group	Command	What it does	Disabled when
Home, List	New	Add organization	Adds an organization: see Add organization.
Home, List	Open	Open	Goes into the selected organization.	Nothing is selected.
List	Open	Open in new tab	Opens it in a new browser tab.	Nothing is selected.
Home, List	View	Refresh	Reads the list again.
Home	Share	Copy link	Copies the link to the selected organization, or to this page.

An organization can't be deleted, or renamed, here: its name and slug are changed on its own Overview.

Drawers and dialogs

Add organization

• Name: the organization's name. At most 24 characters.
• Slug: its name in the addresses of its pages. At most 24 characters: letters, digits and hyphens.
• Email (Owner): the e-mail address of its owner, optional.

Click Add, or Cancel. Spider gives the organization a database of its own, the groups Administrators and All Users, and a dashboard named Default. The owner joins both groups, and gets an e-mail with an invite: see Signing in. Without an owner, open the organization and invite its first users on its Users page.

The organization then has nothing else: environments, connections, modules and users are added in its own settings.

When the organization can't be added, a name or slug in use already, say, Spider doesn't say so: check the list afterwards.
