Organizational units

On the right-hand side of the Organization Management → Overview page, Organization structure shows your organization as a tree, with your top-level organization at the top and any organizational units nested underneath. Click a unit to expand or collapse it.

Creating an organizational unit

1

Open the Overview page

Go to Organization Management → Overview.

2

Check which organization you're in

The new unit is created under the organization you're currently switched into, shown in the organization switcher at the top of the page. To add a unit under a different one, switch to it first.

3

Start a new unit

Click Add organizational unit (top right of the Organization structure panel), or the Add organizational unit to <name> node inside the tree — it sits under the organization you're working in.

4

Name the unit

Give the unit a name — for example Game Studio or Infrastructure Team.

5

Create it

Click Create organizational unit. The dialog names the parent before you commit — "Organizational units created here are added under <name>" — and the confirmation repeats it.

The unit appears in the tree straight away, and in the organization switcher and the Servers page organization filter.

The switcher decides where a unit lands. If you're switched into your top-level organization, the new unit sits directly beneath it. If you're switched into Studio A, it becomes a unit inside Studio A. Read the parent name in the dialog before creating — it's the quickest way to confirm you're in the right place.

Good to know

• Only admins can create organizational units. If you aren't an admin, you'll see the structure but not the button.

• You'll have full administrative control over any unit you create, including inviting members within its scope.

• Names are up to 50 characters and must start with a letter or number.

• By default a structure can be up to ten levels deep and have up to twenty units under any single parent. If your company needs more, raise a support case and we'll increase it for you.

• A unit has exactly one parent — it can't sit in two places at once.

What an organizational unit gives you

• Scoped visibility. Switch to a unit and you see only that unit's servers and members.

• Centralized control. From your top-level organization you can still see everything, across every unit beneath it.

Coming soon. Two things the portal names as planned rather than available today: role-based access for secure delegation, and shared billing and resource management across an organization. Until then, see the note on billing for how invoicing works.
