Creating a new organisation
| Field | Description |

Joining an existing organisation
If a colleague has already registered your company, you can request to join their organisation. Search by name or enter an invite code. An organisation admin must approve your request before you gain access.
User roles
Every organisation has three built-in roles:
- Owner — Full control over the organisation, billing settings, and member management. At least one Owner must exist at all times.
- Admin — Can manage properties, submit data, generate reports, and invite members. Cannot delete the organisation.
- Viewer — Read-only access to dashboards and reports. Cannot submit or modify data.
Roles are assigned at the organisation level. Property-level permissions can be configured separately under Settings > Properties > Access.
Invite team members
Navigate to Settings > Team and click Invite Member. Enter the recipient's email, select a role, and optionally restrict their access to specific properties. The invitee will receive an email with a link to accept.
There is no limit on the number of team members you can invite.
Enable single sign-on (SSO)
Organisation Owners can connect an identity provider under Settings > Authentication > SSO. SDX supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Once SSO is enabled you can optionally enforce it so that all members must authenticate through your identity provider.
Multi-factor authentication
MFA is available for all users and can be enforced at the organisation level. SDX supports TOTP-based authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.) and hardware security keys via WebAuthn.
