What is an Organization?
It is a shared workspace connected with your Surfer subscription. This means that all of your team members will operate under one pricing plan.
Why did we come up with Organizations?
Although we’ve always allowed sharing credentials to one account, we wanted to simplify it for you to work as a team or with your writers/clients.
How to invite a user to join your organization?
1. Go to the ”Organization” tab of your account
2. Copy the invite link
3. You’re ready to share it! You can do this via email, Messenger – however you want!
As an organization owner, you can:
– remove your team members whenever you want
– reset your invitation link to get the new one (users that had already joined your organization won’t be deleted once you do the reset)
How to join the organization once you’re invited?
1. Click on an invitation link – you’ll be redirected to the login or signup page – it depends if you already have a Surfer account or not. You need to set up a Surfer account (for free, even without a paid plan) to be able to join organizations.
2. Click the ”Join” button
3. Congrats! Now you can work in the organization! :)
Roles in Organization
There are three different roles in each organization:
Member - can see other members as well as view, edit, create and remove queries.
Admin - on top of access to queries, an admin can manage the organization and has access to the billing.
Owner - the ruler of them all! As the subscription of the organization is under the owner's account, he has all of the previously mentioned accesses and privileges.
Admins can be appointed by the Owner and other Admins on the organization page by selecting a proper role from the drop-down menu:
Organization vs. private account
Despite working in the organization you were invited to, you can always purchase a standalone subscription for your own purposes:
