Organization Basics
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.
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.
