Creating an organization
Organizations are the top-level container in Clave. Set up your organization to get your team started.
What is an organization?
An organization is the highest level in Clave's structure. It holds one or more workspaces, manages team membership, and owns billing. Think of it as your company or team account.
You can belong to multiple organizations and switch between them from the Clave header.
Create your first organization
After signing in, you land on the Organizations page. If you have no organizations yet, you will see an empty state with two options.
-
Click Create organization.
-
A dialog opens asking for two things:
- Name — The display name for your organization (e.g., "Acme Corp" or "My Team").
- URL slug — A short identifier used in your workspace URLs (e.g.,
acme). Clave generates this from your name automatically, but you can edit it.
-
Click Create organization.
The page reloads and your new organization appears. Click it to open it.
Organization roles
Every member of an organization has one of three roles:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access — manage members, billing, settings, and delete the org |
| Admin | Manage members and settings, but not billing or org deletion |
| Member | Access workspaces they are invited to |
The person who creates an organization is the owner by default.
Managing organization settings
To open organization settings, click the organization name in the header and select Settings, or navigate to /organizations/{slug}/settings.
Settings are organized into four sections:
- General — Edit organization name and other details.
- Members — View and manage who belongs to the organization.
- Invite codes — Create and manage codes to invite new members.
- Billing — View your plan, usage, and subscription.
Join an existing organization
If a teammate has already created an organization, you can join it with an invite code.
- On the Organizations page, click Join.
- Enter the invite code your teammate shared with you.
- Click Join organization.
You are added as a member and the organization appears in your list. See Inviting teammates to learn how to generate invite codes.
