Organisations & Teams

Multi-user teams with role-based access control. Organisations let you collaborate with colleagues, scope all data to a shared workspace, and manage access permissions per member.

Roles

Every member of an organisation has one of three roles. Roles are assigned when a member is invited and can be changed later by an Owner or Admin.

Role	Permissions
Owner	Full access. Manage billing, delete org, manage all settings
Admin	Manage members, settings, projects, and components
Member	View and edit projects, components, and templates

Creating an Organisation

Click your profile menu and select "Create Organisation"

Enter an organisation name and slug

You become the Owner automatically

Inviting Members

Go to Settings in your organisation dashboard

Navigate to the Members section

Enter an email address and select a role

Click Invite. The user receives an email invitation

Invited users must have a Layout account. If they do not have one yet, they will be prompted to sign up when they follow the invitation link.

Scoping

All data in Layout is scoped to an organisation. Nothing crosses organisational boundaries. A project created in one org is not visible in another.

Projects and extractions

Component library

Templates (published and installed)

API keys

Audit log

Webhook configurations

Switching Organisations

Use the organisation switcher in the sidebar to move between orgs. Each org has its own dashboard, projects, and settings. Switching orgs does not affect your session. You remain signed in throughout.

Tips

One org per team

Start with a single org for your team. Create separate orgs for different clients or products if you need stronger data isolation.

API keys are org-scoped

A key created in one org cannot access another org's data. Generate separate keys for each org you need programmatic access to.

Audit log

The audit log tracks all actions per organisation. Use it for compliance reviews or to investigate unexpected changes.
