Organizations & Teams
Orchka is multi-tenant. Workflows, credentials, executions, and stats are scoped to an organization. Every account belongs to at least one organization — the Personal workspace we create for you on first sign-in — and you can create more for separate teams, clients, or environments.
Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Organization | The unit of data isolation. Has a name, a URL slug, and a set of members. |
| Member | A user with access to an organization. Has a role (owner, admin, or member). |
| Active organization | The org you're currently viewing. Stored on your session and updated when you switch. |
| Invitation | A pending member email. Expires after 7 days. |
Switching organizations re-scopes everything: the workflows list, executions, credentials, and dashboard stats all narrow to that org's data.
The Organization Switcher
The switcher lives at the top of the sidebar.
- Click your current org to open the dropdown
- Select another org to switch — the page refreshes and queries re-scope
- "New organization" opens a dialog with a name and auto-slugified slug
- A checkmark marks the org you're currently in

+ New organizationRoles
Every member has exactly one role within an organization:
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything — including renaming the org, removing other admins, and deleting the org. There can be more than one owner. |
| Admin | Invite members, change member roles (admin/member only), remove members, edit org details. Cannot delete the org or demote/remove owners. |
| Member | Use workflows, credentials, and execution data. Cannot manage other members. |
Roles are checked on the server: a member cannot bypass restrictions by calling the API directly.
Managing Your Team
Open Settings → Team. You'll see:
Members
A table of everyone in the active organization, with their role chip. Owners and admins see a ⋯ menu on every other member for role changes and removal. Removing a member revokes their access to all workflows, credentials, and executions in that org — re-invite them later if needed.
Inviting
Click Invite in the page header. Pick:
- Email — where the invite link is sent
- Role — Member (default) or Admin
The recipient gets an invitation that's valid for 7 days. Until they accept it, the invite appears in the Pending Invites section, where admins can revoke it with one click.
Organization Details (owner-only)
The bottom section lets owners:
- Rename the organization (the sidebar label updates immediately)
- Change the URL slug
- Delete the organization — permanently destroys every workflow, credential, execution, and stat rollup scoped to it. A two-step confirmation dialog guards this.
Creating a New Organization
From any page:
- Click the org switcher in the sidebar
- Select "New organization"
- Enter a name — the slug auto-generates as you type
- Create
You're added as the owner and switched to it. The new org starts empty — no workflows, no credentials, no executions.
How Data Is Scoped
Internally every owned row carries an organizationId foreign key.
Every list query, create, update, and delete is filtered by your active
org via a middleware that reads session.activeOrganizationId.
This means:
- Listing workflows in Personal shows only Personal's workflows
- Creating a credential in Acme stores it under Acme's org
- Switching to Side Project instantly hides everything from the other orgs without re-fetching anything stale
If your session has no active org set (e.g. you just signed in), the middleware falls back to your oldest membership.
Existing Users: Backfill Behavior
Accounts that existed before organizations launched were each given a Personal org as part of the rollout. All of your previous workflows, credentials, and executions were assigned to that Personal org and your session was set to use it as the active org. Nothing was lost — the data is exactly where it was, just owned by Personal instead of you directly.
Limits
- 10 organizations per user (you can create at most ten orgs as owner; you can be a member of more than ten via invitations)
- 50 members per organization
- 7-day invitation TTL
These caps are configured in the Better Auth plugin and can be raised for self-hosted deployments.
