You can access your [organization details & settings](https://dashboard.bitmovin.com/organization) via your profile: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/47296638d4524cd7b8e4a370a6756de2118a8a3daaaeecfceeed16a3ae5f2a1d-Screenshot_2024-10-17_at_3.17.38_PM.png", "", "" ], "align": "center" } ] } [/block] You will find your **organization details & ID** in your [Organization Overview](https://dashboard.bitmovin.com/organization/overview).

Each account is associated with an **Organization**. * **Organization:** An Organization holds all the resources you can create in the Dashboard or through the Bitmovin API (Encodings, Inputs, Outputs, Configurations, Manifests, etc.), as well as the subscriptions for each of our services. Furthermore, one or more **Users** can be part of an **Organization**. * **User** (Owner, You): A **User** is by default the owner of the Organization of its own Bitmovin Account. * **Group:** A **Group** has specific **Permissions** assigned to it to control which actions its members can perform in an **Organization**. * **User:** A **User** can become a member of other **Organizations** by being added to one or more of its **Groups**. **Users** that are added to other **Organizations** are also referred to as **Tenant-Users**. * **Permissions:** **Permissions** can be assigned to **Groups** to control what resources its members are allowed to *View* or *Manage* inside an **Organization**. # Managing your team Via your [organization's team settings](https://dashboard.bitmovin.com/organization/team) you can invite additional users to the Bitmovin Dashboard and also manage their access by adding them to groups and defining group permissions. ## Inviting team members Invite your team members by clicking the `+ Add` button next to "Users": [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/31f10aa896956192beea3c6405e944a1bceb9a7c46546112c3c7bd6076f01e90-Screenshot_2024-10-17_at_3.46.26_PM.png", null, "" ], "align": "center" } ] } [/block] Enter the email(s) of the user(s) you want to add to your organization and specify the groups you want to add them to and eventually click `Save`: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/6f13e37c6a92d7fc6f75a010ec34e221afdc741fd16c11f02127b0c84159ffb3-Screenshot_2024-10-17_at_3.47.13_PM.png", null, "" ], "align": "center" } ] } [/block] The users you have invited will receive an email and once they've created their account they can select your organization in the top menu bar and switch to it. If the account already exists, they can just log in and select the correct organization in the top menu bar. ## Managing groups By default, there are three predefined groups available: | Group | Description | | :------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Devops | Allowed to **view** Encoding, Player, and Analytics resources | | Account Admins | Allowed to **view and manage** account settings (View Access is required to access the Support Section) | | Product Admins | Allowed to **view and manage** Encoding, Player, and Analytics resources | ### Creating new groups If none of the predefined groups fits your needs, you can create a custom group with custom permissions. In order to create a custom group, go to your [Team settings](https://bitmovin.com/dashboard/organization/team), and click on the `+ Add` button next to Groups: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/a8843d09db5e1b77893aeef6332bcb98bd8294aa4499e13e11e25990d8da5c27-Screenshot_2024-10-17_at_3.47.51_PM.png", null, "" ], "align": "center" } ] } [/block] > 💡 Tip > > We recommend to use a descriptive name and description, so it is easy to see what set of permissions are configured for this group. By default, if no permissions are added to a group everything will be denied. So, by adding permissions you can allow specific actions that users of this group can perform. ### Group permissions To manage group permissions, go to your [Team settings](https://bitmovin.com/dashboard/organization/team) and click on the `Edit` button next to the group name and description.
