**Organization** is a feature for teams of several users
who work together on projects and share tasks.

Create an **Organization**, invite your team members, and assign
roles to make the team work better on shared tasks.

See:

- [Personal workspace](#personal-workspace)
- [Create new organization](#create-new-organization)
  - [Switching between organizations](#switching-between-organizations)
- [Organization page](#organization-page)
  - [Invite members into organization](#invite-members-into-organization)
  - [Delete organization](#delete-organization)

## Personal workspace

The account's default state is activated when no **Organization** is selected.

If you do not select an **Organization**, the system links all new resources directly
to your personal account, that inhibits resource sharing with others.

When **Personal workspace** is selected, it will be marked with a tick in the menu.
