Create & Switch Organizations

An organization is the top-level container for your work in Phemeral. Each organization has its own projects, environments, team members, API keys, and billing. You can belong to more than one organization — for example, a personal organization and one for a company — and switch between them at any time.

Your first organization is created automatically when you sign up. This guide covers creating additional organizations and moving between them.

The Organization Menu

Everything related to organizations lives in the organization menu in the top-right of the dashboard, labeled with your current organization's name. Opening it shows:

• The organizations you belong to, with the active one marked.
• A + button next to the Organization label for creating a new organization.
• Links to Member Management, API Keys, and Org Settings for the active organization.

Create an Organization

1. Open the organization menu in the top-right of the dashboard.
2. Click the + button next to the Organization label.
3. Enter an Organization Name.
4. Choose a plan:
   • Free — the organization is created and you are switched into it immediately.
   • Pro — you are taken to checkout. After you complete payment, you land in the new organization. If you cancel, the organization is still created on the Free plan, and you can upgrade later.
5. Select Create Organization (or Create & Continue to Checkout for a paid plan).

See Plans & Billing for a full comparison of the Free and Pro tiers.

What a New Organization Includes

Every organization you create starts with:

• A default project called Launchpad, with Production, Staging, and Development environments. See Projects.
• Your account as its first member. See Manage Team Members.
• Its own billing, starting on the Free plan until you complete checkout for a paid plan.

Switch Between Organizations

1. Open the organization menu in the top-right of the dashboard.
2. Select the organization you want to switch to. The active organization is marked with a check.

Organization Access

Access is managed per organization — there is no shared access across organizations. Projects, environments, members, API keys, and billing are all scoped to a single organization. To give someone access to an organization, invite them as a member from Member Management. See Manage Team Members.
