# Organizations Overview

> Manage your organization and its projects in Royaltyport

## What is an Organization?

An Organization is the top-level structure in Royaltyport that represents your company, team, or business unit. Organizations contain projects, manage team members, and provide a centralized view of entities across all your work.

## Organization vs Project

Understanding the relationship between organizations and projects is key:

| Level            | Scope         | Contains                                                            |
| ---------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Organization** | Company-wide  | Projects, shared entities, team members, security settings          |
| **Project**      | Specific work | Contracts, catalog, statements, CRM data, project-specific settings |

### When to Use Multiple Projects

Create separate projects for:

* Different artists or roster members
* Different business units (publishing vs recordings)
* Different clients or partners
* Regional operations (US catalog vs UK catalog)

### Data Separation

| Data Type             | Scope             | Notes                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Team Members**      | Organization-wide | Access controlled per project                 |
| **Entities**          | Project-specific  | Can be linked across projects                 |
| **Contracts**         | Project-specific  | Fully isolated per project                    |
| **Catalog**           | Project-specific  | Recordings and compositions are project-bound |
| **Statements**        | Project-specific  | Financial data stays within projects          |
| **Security Settings** | Organization-wide | SSO and audit logs apply to all projects      |

## Organization Home

When you enter an organization, you'll see:

* **Projects Tab** - All projects in your organization with quick access
* **Entities Tab** - View and manage entities across all projects
* **Settings** - Access organization configuration
