Create an organization
Create a TeamComms organization, name it, and set which organization is active
An organization is a workspace for your company, business, or group. Create one when you want a shared place for your teams and their messages.
You control the organization name, and Teamcomms sets which organization is active for you. This guide covers creating, naming, and switching your active organization.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to TeamComms. Any signed-in user can create an organization.
- The person who creates the organization becomes its owner.
Steps
1. Open the Organizations page
Select Dashboard. The Organizations page opens and lists every organization you belong to.
2. Start creating
Select Create Organization. The Create Organization dialog opens.
3. Name your organization
In the Name field, type a name for your organization. The name is required.
Under the name, Teamcomms shows a Slug. The slug is a short label built from the name using lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes. It updates as you type and is read-only. It must be unique.
4. Create it
Select Create Organization. Teamcomms creates the organization, makes you its owner, and makes it your active organization. The new organization appears on the Organizations page.
About the active organization
Your active organization is the one you are viewing now. On the Organizations page, the active organization shows an Active badge and a highlighted border.
To switch to a different organization:
- Open the three-dot menu on that organization's card.
- Select Switch to this Organization.
You can also switch from the organization switcher in the sidebar while you are inside an organization.
Read the organization details
Each organization card shows:
- The organization name.
- Total Members, the number of people in the organization.
- Total Teams, the number of teams in the organization.
- Your role in that organization: owner, admin, or member.
Owners and admins also see Update Organization and Delete Organization in the three-dot menu. Deleting an organization cannot be undone, so take care before you choose that option.
What happens next
You are the owner, so you can update the organization, invite people, and create teams. Members you invite do not get access to every team. Team access is granted separately.
Troubleshooting
- If you select Create Organization with an empty Name, Teamcomms shows "Organization name is required". Type a name and try again.
