An organisation groups instances, members, usage, and billing.
Every instance, membership, and invoice belongs to exactly one organisation. Nobody in one organisation can see or change the resources of another.
Create one organisation for each company, department, or environment you keep apart. Separate organisations for production and development each get their own member list and their own invoice.
Create an organisation
Open the overview page in SurrealDB Studio.
Select Create organisation.
Enter a name for the organisation.
Confirm the name.
You become the owner, and Studio opens the organisation overview. The breadcrumb at the top of Studio switches between the organisations you belong to.
To create an organisation from a terminal, run surrealctl org create. surrealctl org use sets which organisation later commands apply to. See surrealctl organisations.
The organisation view
The overview page shows everything the organisation holds. The sidebar leads into each area.
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Instances | Every instance in the organisation. Deploy, open, and filter them here. |
| Team | Members, invitations, and roles. |
| Billing | Billing details, payment method, discount codes, and invoices. |
| Usage | Compute, storage, and spend for the current or previous month. |
| Support | Support plans and tickets. |
| Settings | The organisation name and its id. |
Contexts and Connections hold Spectron resources rather than database instances. They use the same organisation for access and billing.
Your role decides what you see. A member without billing permissions does not see the Billing section. See Members and roles.
Organisation settings
Settings holds two values: the display name, which you can change at any time, and the organisation id.
Quote the organisation id when you raise a support ticket. The id names one organisation exactly, where a display name might not.
Organisations cannot be deleted at present. Delete the instances inside an organisation you have finished with, and it stops accruing charges.
