Managing Your Organization

When you create a Terraware account, you'll need to be connected to an Organization before you can use the platform. An Organization is the workspace under which all your Species, Seed Banks, Nurseries, Planting Sites, and People are managed. If your Organization isn't in Terraware yet, you'll set one up yourself. If it already exists, an Admin will add you to it.

Only Owners and Admins can create and manage organizations. When you create an organization, you're automatically designated its Owner and have the same capabilities as an Admin, plus the ability to assign a new Owner.

Create an Organization during account setup

After verifying your email address, Terraware will prompt you to create an Organization if you haven't already been added to one.

1. Click Create Organization in the welcome prompt.
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Organization Name — required. Enter the full name of your organization.
   • Description — optional. A brief description of what your organization does.
   • Country — required. If your organization operates in multiple countries, select the country of your headquarters.
   • Time Zone — required. Select your organization's primary time zone.
   • Organization Type — required. Select the option that best describes your organization.
3. Click Save to create your Organization.
