# Organizations

Create, configure, and manage your organization in Rolebase.

## What is an Organization?

An organization is the **top-level container** in Rolebase. Everything (roles, members, meetings, tasks, threads, decisions) belongs to an organization. Each organization has its own settings, subscription plan, and member list.

You can be a member of multiple organizations and switch between them from the dashboard.

## Creating an Organization

1.  From the dashboard, click **Create Organization**.
2.  Enter a name for your organization.
3.  Optionally set a custom **slug** (used in the URL, e.g. `rolebase.io/my-org`).
4.  You are automatically assigned the **Owner** role.

Your organization starts with a single top-level role that you can rename and expand.

## Organization Settings

Access settings from the organization menu. The following options are available:

### General Settings

*   **Name** is the display name of your organization.
*   **Slug** is the URL-friendly identifier. Must be unique across Rolebase.

### Governance Settings

*   **Protect Governance**, when enabled, restricts role structure modifications (add/remove sub-roles, change purpose, domain, and accountabilities) to role leaders only. This enforces formal governance processes.

### Visibility Settings

*   **Share Organization** makes a public page for your organization accessible to anyone with the link. Useful for transparency with external stakeholders.
*   **Share Members** controls whether the member list is visible on the public page when sharing is enabled.

## Managing Your Organization

### Archiving

Organizations can be archived when they are no longer active. Archived organizations are hidden from the dashboard but their data is preserved.

### Deleting

Permanent deletion removes all organization data including roles, meetings, and member associations. This action cannot be undone.

** Destructive Action**

Deleting an organization is irreversible. Make sure to export any data you need before proceeding.
