🏢Set up your organisation

By using organizations in Ellipsis Drive you can host content owned not by a specific account but by an organization. On top of this organizations allow you to create groups of users to streamline content permissions.

👇Follow the steps below to set up your organization in Ellipsis Drive.

💡If you have not yet registered, let's get you signed up first!

💡Go to Manage account (under your user avatar on the top right), pick organizations in the side bar.

💡 Click 'Add an organization' and enter your organization name. The organization will now be displayed in your organization list.

💡 The first thing you will now have to do is attach a storage plan. Click the 'storage' button under the organization and add a storage plan to your organization.

Organization content

Once you created the organization a shared folder owned by the organization will be created in your shared with me. You can go to that folder and invite all relevant colleagues. All content created within the organization folder will be owned by the organization an billed according to the organization storage plan.

User groups

If you navigate to the organization via manage account -> my organizations. You can click the button 'Groups'. Here you can create user groups and add users to these groups.

Groups are a handy tool to manage access to groups of users instead of users individually. Groups can be added to organization content (layers and folders). All users in the group will have the group permissions. When users are added to or removed from the group their permissions are updated accordingly.

Mind that only organization content can be shared with an organization group. A group from an organization can only be added to content owned by that organization.

You can add users to a group as regular users or as group admins. Group admins can add and remove users to the group they are admin of. Making users group admin can be a good idea when you wish to delegate management of the group to someone else.

Organization admins

If you navigate to the organization via manage account -> my organizations. You can click the button 'Admins'. Here can you add organization admins. Mind that organization admins have full access to the organization. Including updating the storage plan, organization details and even removal of the organization itself. Only appoint users as organization admins if truly needed.
