Introduction
What an Organization is on Eddy, how it relates to your personal account and who can administer it.
An Organization 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 Organization. Every Map lives in a workspace inside an Organization. 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 Organizations and join ones you are invited to. The Organization does not own your account. Creating a Map always means creating it inside one of those Organizations' workspaces.
| Eddy account | Organization | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Your identity on Eddy | Shared container for a team, school, company or project |
| Who controls it | You | Organization owners (and admins within the limits owners set) |
| What it holds | Profile, sign-in, memberships across Organizations | Workspaces, Members, Maps, Sessions, Organization settings |
| Can it hold Maps? | No | Yes — Maps live in workspaces under the Organization |
On signup you get a first Organization 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 Organization workspace.
