# Create your Organization

An **Organization** in Condense is the top-level container for your entire account. It holds all your workspaces, members, roles, and billing. Every user who signs up to Condense creates or joins an organization as their first step.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Organisation creation happens automatically** as part of the sign-up flow — you do not need to create one separately if you are signing up for the first time.
{% endhint %}

### What is an Organization?

An organization in Condense is the administrative boundary for your entire team. It contains:

| Component      | Description                                                |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspaces** | Isolated environments for building and deploying pipelines |
| **Members**    | All users who have been invited to your organization       |
| **Roles**      | Admin and User roles assigned at the organization level    |
| **Settings**   | Org name, unique ID, and member management                 |

***

### Step 1 - Sign Up and Authenticate

Before creating an organization, you need to sign up for a Condense account. Condense supports three sign-up methods:

* **Google (GSuite)** — sign up with your work Google account
* **Microsoft (M365)** — sign up with your work Microsoft account
* **Email and Password** — sign up with your email address

Visit the Condense login page and click the **Signup** button at the bottom of the page to begin.

{% hint style="info" %}
Look for the invite email from **<hello@zeliot.in>** — it contains the unique URL for you to sign up and access the Condense App.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2 - Create Your Organization

After successful authentication, you will be automatically redirected to the **Organization Creation** page:

<div data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://docs.zeliot.in/condense/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1775139360-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FvbacpakLuL4x2VBp2174%252Fuploads%252FOmLWeVieR3xJqkOWmCjw%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D54e1cc8f-a0c0-4e7f-927f-b4a08ecd4abe&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=3&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=ddd64744&#x26;sv=2" alt="Organization Creation Page"></div>

1. Enter your **Organization Name**
2. Click **Create Organization**

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="warning" class="hint hint-warning"><p>Choose your organization name carefully — it will be visible to all members you invite and is used to identify your account across Condense.</p></div>

### Step 3 - You're In!

Upon successful organization creation, you will be redirected to the **All Workspaces** section inside the Condense App:

<div data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://docs.zeliot.in/condense/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F1775139360-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FvbacpakLuL4x2VBp2174%252Fuploads%252FW0d7Feec9gRKXtttnoGS%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D51408d7b-4e4a-49c7-826f-0c7d3659f15c&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=3&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=aa2802d3&#x26;sv=2" alt="Workspaces Section After Organization Creation"></div>

A **default workspace** is automatically created for you to start exploring features and setting up pipelines right away.

### Managing Your Organization

Once created, your organization can be managed from **Settings → Organization** tab. As an **Organization Admin** you can:

| Action              | Description                                                 |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Update Org Name** | Edit the display name of your organization                  |
| **View Org ID**     | Unique identifier for your organization                     |
| **Invite Members**  | Add team members by email and assign roles                  |
| **Manage Roles**    | Update or reassign roles for existing members               |
| **Remove Members**  | Revoke access — removes user from all associated workspaces |

***

### Organization Roles

Condense has two organization-level roles:

| Role                                                             | Permissions                                                    |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Organization Admin**                                           | Full control — manage members, roles, workspaces, and settings |
| **User**                                                         | Standard access — view settings and workspace details only     |
| **workspace-level roles** (Admin, Maintainer, Developer, Viewer) |                                                                |
| for granular access control within each workspace.               |                                                                |
