# Set up your organization

#### Overview

Organizations in Ellipsis Drive allow you to manage data and users at a team or company level.

Instead of being owned by an individual account, content can be owned by an organization. This enables centralized management of storage, access, and collaboration.

Organizations also support user groups to simplify permission management at scale.

***

#### Create an organization

To set up an organization:

1. Navigate to **Manage account** via your user avatar (top right)
2. Open the **Organizations** section in the sidebar
3. Select **Add organization**
4. Enter an organization name

Your organization will now appear in your organization list.

***

#### Storage configuration

After creating an organization, you must attach a storage plan.

1. Open the organization
2. Navigate to **Storage**
3. Select and assign a storage plan

All data stored within the organization will be billed according to this plan.

***

#### Organization content

Once created, a shared organization folder is automatically added to your workspace.

This folder:

* Is owned by the organization
* Can be accessed by invited members
* Serves as the default location for collaborative data

Any content created within this folder inherits organization ownership and storage billing.

***

#### User groups

User groups allow you to manage access at scale instead of assigning permissions individually.

To manage groups:

1. Go to **Manage account** → **My organizations**
2. Select your organization
3. Open **Groups**

From here, you can:

* Create groups
* Add or remove users
* Assign group-level permissions

Groups can be assigned to organization-owned layers and folders. All users within a group inherit the same access rights.

Changes to group membership are applied automatically.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Only organization-owned content can be shared with organization groups
* Groups cannot be used outside the organization they belong to
  {% endhint %}

***

#### Group roles

Users in a group can be assigned one of two roles:

* **Member**: inherits group permissions
* **Group admin**: can manage group membership

Group admins are useful for delegating access management within larger teams.

***

#### Organization admins

Organization admins have full control over the organization.

To manage organization admins, go to:\
**Manage account** → **My organizations** → **Admins**

Organization admins can:

* Manage storage plans
* Edit organization settings
* Manage users and groups
* Delete the organization

Only assign organization admin rights to trusted users, as this role has full administrative access.
