# Organisations & User Management

> Manage your organisations, invite users, and control access in Ankra.

<Note>
  Organisations in Ankra help you manage access, resources, and collaboration for your team. You can invite users, assign roles, and switch between organisations to keep your workspaces organized.
</Note>

## Accessing Your Organisation

Open your current organisation directly from anywhere in Ankra.

1. Click your profile icon in the menu at the bottom left of the Ankra platform.
2. Select **Organisation**.
3. You land straight on your current organisation's overview — members, stats, roles, audit log, billing, and settings are in the sidebar.

## Switching Organisations

Switch between organisations to see the resources, stacks, and credentials for each one.

* In the profile menu, hover **Switch organisation** to see every organisation you belong to. Your current organisation is marked with a check — click any other one to switch to it.
* **All organisations** in that submenu opens the full list, including pending invitations, with a switch button per organisation.
* You can also switch from the command palette with the **Switch Organisation** command.
* When you switch, your active session updates to reference that organisation. You’ll see only the stacks, clusters, and credentials for the selected organisation.

## Inviting Users

Invite teammates to your organisation by email and assign their role.

* To add people, click **Add User** in the organisation view.
* Enter the user’s email address to send an invitation.
* You can assign one of two roles:
  * **Admin:** Can invite and remove users, and manage all organisation settings.
  * **Member:** Can use the platform but cannot invite others.

## Managing Users & Roles

Control who has access to your organisation and what they can do.

* **Admins** can invite new users, remove any user, and manage organisation settings.
* **Members** can remove themselves from the organisation but cannot remove others or invite new users.
* To remove a user, use the menu next to their name in the user list.

## Organisation Variables

Define variables at the organisation level to share configuration values across all clusters and stacks.

1. Go to your organisation's **Settings** page
2. Click **Variables** in the settings menu
3. Add variables that apply organisation-wide

Organisation variables are inherited by all clusters and stacks but can be overridden at the cluster or stack level for environment-specific values.

## Best Practices

Tips for keeping your organisations secure and well managed.

* Use organisations to separate projects, teams, or environments.
* Assign admin rights only to trusted team members.
* Regularly review your organisation's user list to keep access up to date.
* Define shared configuration as organisation variables to avoid duplication.

> **Tip:** Switching organisations changes your view to only the resources, stacks, and credentials for that organisation. This helps keep your work organized and secure.
