Organizations

Organizations

Each organization can be considered as a collection of workspaces, members, teams as well as collaborations. To better explore these concepts, let us first create an organization.

1. To create an organization, click on the dropdown next to your name and select New organization to open the creation dialog.

2. On the dialog, fill in the fields as per your organization. The Name and Full name fields are compulsary.

Warning

A valid name for the organization must follow specific pattern. Please refer the UI for further instructions.

3. The rest of the fields such as Description, Location, Website URL and Logo Url are optional.

4. Once the details are filled-in, you can access the newly created organization using the organizations page, which lists all of your organizations.

Tip

It is possible to change the values of the optional fields either using the Edit option on the organizations page or using the Settings tab within the organization page, provided that you're the Owner of the organization

Organization workspaces

Organization workspaces builds upon the functionality of a User workspace as discussed in the Getting Started section, since they add the ability to fine-tune the access level for any particular member, collaborator or team.

Members

Once an organization is created, the user who created the organization is the default owner of that organization. It is also possible to invite/add other members as well.

Note

Owners have full read/write access to all the users and resources within an organization, whereas the members could

Collaborators

Collaborators are users which are invited only within an organization workspace, as a result, their access is limited to only within this workspace in an organization.

New collaborators to an organization workspace can be added using the Participants.

Note

A list of all the available Members and Collaborators can be found at the organization page.

Participant permissions

Nextflow Tower further allows the organization owners to allocate a distinct access level within an organization workspace to all the Participants of the workspace.

Teams

Teams allows the organization Owners to group various members or collaborators
