[!INCLUDE Retirement announcement for App Center]
We recommend creating an organization for any apps with multiple collaborators to better manage users and their permissions.
These are the three roles within an organization and the actions each can take:
Roles | Create App | See all apps | Manage settings | Add people | Manage Shared Distribution Groups and Teams |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Admins | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Collaborators | Yes | Only if you belong | No | No | Yes |
Members | Yes | Only if you belong | No | No | No |
-
Admins are Managers of all the apps in the organization. Learn more about app permissions.
-
When someone gets added to an app owned by an organization, they get invited as Members of the organization.
To create an organization, log in and click the Add new dropdown and choose Add new organization.
Note
When you create an organization, you automatically become an 'Admin'.
Customize your organization by uploading an org icon:
- On the left side navigation, select the organization
- Select the Manage tab
- On the right side of the screen, click the placeholder org icon
- Select an image file no larger than 512px and doesn't exceed 1 MB
All of your organizations are accessible in the left navigation.
There are two ways to add users to an organization:
Directly to the organization:
- On the left side navigation, select the organization
- Select People
- Type the user's email address to add the user
This gives the user access to the organization as a collaborator. However, they won't see any of the apps listed in the organization unless they're explicitly invited to the app or if they're an admin of the organization.
In-directly through an app:
- Select an app within an organization
- On the left side navigation, select the Settings page
- Select People
- Type the user's email address to add the user
Adding a user from outside the organization to an app automatically adds them to the organization. However, the user will only see the app(s) they were invited to.
- On the left side navigation, select the organization
- Select People
- Select the user
- Use the dropdown to re-assign the role
Only 'Admins' can change the role of collaborators and other admins.
- On the left side navigation, select the organization
- Select People
- Select the collaborator
- Click Remove from organization
Removing a collaborator from an organization will remove the user from all apps within the organization.
- Click on the App Center user menu in the upper-right corner of any page
- Select Account Settings
- Select Organizations
- Click the Leave button by the organization you want to leave.
Note
If you're the sole 'Admin' of an organization, you can't leave the organization. You can either promote another collaborator to 'Admin' or delete the entire organization.
- On the left side navigation, select the organization
- Select Manage
- On the upper right hand side, click the Delete Organization button
Note
Only organization 'Admins' can delete organizations.
