What is an Organization?

Your Organization (Org) represents your company’s dedicated space within the Encord platform. The Organization dashboard is where you manage and keep track of all users, Projects and Datasets that belong to your Organization in Encord.

Workforce Organizations

In our database, an Organization can be categorized as a Workforce Organization at the time of its creation. When an internal user from a Workforce Organization is added to a Project or Dataset of another Organization, they automatically acquire the Workforce user role for that Organization.


Creating an Organization

When you join Encord, we create an entry for your company as an Organization into our database, with one or more individuals from your business as Admins of the Organization.

We offer the flexibility to associate any email domains with your company’s Organization. This way, when users sign up using a specific email domain, they’re automatically integrated into your Organization. You have the option to assign different user roles based on the email domain - typically, email addresses with your company’s domain are designated as Internal roles, while other chosen domains can be categorized under Workforce or External roles.

Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication for your Org

To ensure the security of your Organization settings, Encord can enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all members. Once enabled, members are prompted to set up MFA and cannot log in until it is configured. To enable this feature for your Organization, contact support@encord.com.
