Organizations overview
What an organization is, who can do what, and how AskPhi behaves in personal vs organization mode.
An organization is a shared workspace. Members of the same organization can be invited together and managed by an admin. Files, sessions, and analytics inside an organization are scoped to that organization.
You can use AskPhi without an organization — that's called personal mode — but several features (members, settings, organization analytics) only show up when you belong to one.
Two ways to be in an organization
| How | When it happens |
|---|---|
| You created it | Right after registration, or later from your profile. |
| You accepted an invitation | Someone with admin access invited your email and you accepted. |
In both cases you become a member with a role. Roles control what the management area shows you (see below).
Roles at a glance
| Role | Typical capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Created the organization. Full management access. |
| Admin | Invite members, change settings, view organization analytics. |
| Member | Use AskPhi inside the organization. Can see personal analytics. |
The exact capability list is on the Permissions & roles page.
What changes when you're in an organization
| Area | Personal mode | Organization mode |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar | No "Organization" link. | A coloured Organization link near the top opens the management area. |
| Profile | Organization tab shows a Create organization form. | Organization tab shows org details, role, and shortcuts. |
| Analytics | "View my analytics" button on profile. | Personal analytics still available; admins also see organization analytics. |
| Files & chats | Yours alone. | Visible to your organization per its rules. |
| Management menu | Hidden. | Visible to anyone with the management.access capability. |
