Introduction
What an Organisation is on Eddy, how it relates to your personal account and who can administer it.
An Organisation is the top-level container and contracting party on Eddy. It holds workspaces, Members, Maps and Sessions, as well as the subscription when billing is live.
There is no Map outside an Organisation. Every Map lives in a workspace inside an Organisation. You cannot design or run Maps from a personal account alone.
Your Eddy account is separate. You sign in as a person. That account can create Organisations and join ones you are invited to. The Organisation does not own your account. Creating a Map always means creating it inside one of those Organisations' workspaces.
| Eddy account | Organisation | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Your identity on Eddy | Shared container for a team, school, company or project |
| Who controls it | You | Organisation owners (and admins within the limits owners set) |
| What it holds | Profile, sign-in, memberships across Organisations | Workspaces, Members, Maps, Sessions, Organisation settings |
| Can it hold Maps? | No | Yes — Maps live in workspaces under the Organisation |
On signup you get a first Organisation and workspace so you have somewhere to start. Solo users still work inside that structure — it is not optional scaffolding.
A future template may be shared like a GitHub fork: you copy it into your own workspace and adapt the copy without changing the original. The copy still cannot run outside an Organisation workspace.
