Organizations

What is an organization?

An organization is a shared workspace that allows multiple people to work together on ECO Portal projects. Organizations can have multiple members with different roles and permissions.

Create an organization

  1. Sign in to the ECO Portal
  2. Go to your Organizations section
  3. Click “Create Organization”
  4. Give it a name and click “Create”

You will automatically become the owner of the organization.

Roles

Organizations use a role-based access control system with three main roles:

Role Permissions
Admin
Owner
Member

Important: The last owner of an organization cannot be removed or demoted. You must transfer ownership to another member before removing or demoting the current owner.

Invite members

  1. As an Admin or Owner, go to the “Members” section of your organization
  2. Click on “Invite Member”
  3. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite
  4. Select their role (Admin or Member)
  5. Click “Send Invitation”

The invited person will receive an email with instructions to accept the invitation and create their account.

Organization API keys

An active API License for a High-Performing Client includes an Organisation Account for managing multiple Client Accounts and organisation-wide API credentials. Shared organization API keys allow API access on behalf of the Client’s organisation rather than a single Client Account. Organisation membership alone does not grant API access.

Organization API keys work the same way as user API keys:

x-api-key: <organization key>

For more information about API keys, see API Keys.

Security notes

  • Transfer ownership before trying to remove the current owner of an organization
  • Invitations expire after 48 hours (unless updated by an admin)
  • Only the invited email address can accept an invitation
  • Members who are no longer part of an organization lose access to organization resources
