Organizations

What an organization is

Section titled “What an organization is”

An organization is the top of the OttoTester hierarchy. Everything else lives inside one:

Organization
└─ Workspace
   └─ Application
      └─ Variant

Think of the organization as your company or team’s account. It owns two things directly: billing and membership. The testing itself happens further down, inside workspaces.

Members and roles

Section titled “Members and roles”

People join an organization as members, and each member has an org-tier role:

  • Owner — full control: billing, transferring ownership, deleting the org. An owner also has admin reach into every workspace.
  • Admin — manages members and workspaces, but not billing.
  • Billing — payment, invoices, and plan changes only.
  • Member — the baseline. Can be added to workspaces and teams, and can create workspaces.

These roles govern the org itself. They don’t decide who can write or run tests — that’s set per workspace. See Roles and permissions for the full split.

Organizations and workspaces

Section titled “Organizations and workspaces”

An organization contains one or more workspaces. A workspace is where a team’s applications and tests live. Most organizations have a few — one per product line, say, or one per client.

To create a workspace and invite people into it, see Set up a workspace.
