Organisations and people

Create an organisation

Create an organisation from the Organisations page to share skills, projects and reviews with other people. You become its first owner.

Personal account or organisation?

Your personal account is you. Its artifacts sit under your handle and your public profile. An organisation is a shared account for a company, or for your own projects and the people you build them with. It has members with roles, projects and teams, and new versions go through Review, so someone checks them before the rest of the team runs them.

Create one

  1. Open Organisations. You can also use New organisation in the switcher at the top of the sidebar.
  2. Select Create an organisation.
  3. Enter a Name. A Handle is suggested from it; change it if you like. Use lowercase letters, digits and dashes.
  4. Select Create organisation.

You become its first owner and land on its Overview page.

Choose the handle with care: it is permanent. Artifacts are addressed as handle/slug, and install commands carry it. Handles are shared with personal accounts and some words are reserved, so if yours is in use you will see "That handle is already taken". Pick another.

The Overview page

The Overview is the organisation's home.

  • Owners and admins see a setup checklist until the basics are done. See the setup checklists.
  • Projects lists the projects you can see. If you may create projects, New project is there.
  • Members shows who is in the organisation, with See all and, for admins, Invite people.
  • About shows the description and website, once set in Settings.

Tabs along the top lead to Members, Teams, Settings and, depending on your role, Invitations, GitHub, Imports and Reports.

That name is taken

Code: slug_taken

This one is about artifact names, not organisation handles. It appears when you import a skill from GitHub into an account that already has an artifact with the same slug, and that artifact is not yours to update from this import. It also appears when you claim a GitHub listing into an account that already uses one of its slugs. Rename the skill, ask the artifact's owner, or choose another account.
