Organizations
The organizations feature is particularly effective in multi-tenant SaaS and business-to-business (B2B) apps. In addition to individual users, your clients can also consist of teams, organizations, or entire companies.
With this fundamental element, you can build the must-have features for multi-tenancy apps, such as:
- A product that can be used by multiple organizations.
- Organization member provision on an invitation or just-in-time basis.
- Access controls that defined by roles assigned to members within an organization.
- Link organizations with Enterprise SSO (single sign-on) experience.
The term "organization" is also used in other forms, such as "workspace", "team", "company", etc. In Logto, we use "organization" as the generic term to represent the concept of multi-tenancy.
Planning considerations
When using up organizations, integration may involve different levels of effort, we suggest you cross-reference those to customize your development.
- Organization experience: What would the organization experience be? Can an organization admin create its organization? Can organization admins invite members? Do you intend to build a custom dashboard that allows administrators to self-manage their organization members’ identity-related info?
- Roles and access control: Does the application need users to have specific roles assigned within their organizations?
- Manage organizations through Logto Console and Management API: What configuration would you like to set up directly in the Logto Console and Management API?
