title: Organizations - Zed Business description: Create and manage a Zed Business organization, invite members, and control access for your team.

Organizations

A Zed organization is your team's Zed Business subscription, with members, billing, and admin controls in one place.

Personal Organizations

Every Zed account gets a personal organization at sign-up. It has its own subscription, billing, and settings, separate from any team you belong to.

Your personal organization always stays active. Joining a Zed Business organization doesn't replace or affect it.

In the Zed editor, an organization menu in the title bar shows your current organization by name. Click it to see all your organizations and switch between them.

Multiple Organizations

A Zed account can belong to more than one organization at the same time. If you're invited to a second organization while already a member of one, you simply join both. Each organization has its own subscription, billing, and admin controls.

To switch organizations in the dashboard, use the org switcher in the top-left corner. In the Zed editor, click the organization name in the title bar to see all your organizations and move between them.

Creating an organization

To create an organization, go to dashboard.zed.dev/create-organization. The person who creates the organization becomes its owner.

If you don't have a payment method on file, you'll be taken through a checkout flow. If one is already on file, that step is skipped. After that, you'll land on an invite page to add your first members.

Inviting members

Members are invited by email address. When an invite is accepted, the member's Zed account joins the organization and is covered by its subscription.

To invite a member:

  1. Go to the Members page in your organization dashboard.
  2. Select + Invite Member.
  3. Enter the member's email address and choose a role.
  4. They'll receive an email with a link to join.

After accepting, they authenticate with their GitHub account and are added to the organization. For details on what each role can do, see Roles & Permissions.

Managing members

Owners and admins can manage members from the Members page in the dashboard.

Changing a member's role

  1. On the Members page, find the member.
  2. Open the menu and select a new role.

Removing a member

  1. On the Members page, find the member.
  2. Select Remove and confirm.

Removing a member ends their access to the organization's subscription and admin-managed settings. Their personal Zed account and any other organization memberships are unaffected.

Organization Dashboard

The dashboard shows your members, roles, and billing. Owners and admins have full access; members have no dashboard access.
