Manage an organisation

Admins of an organisation invite people, change roles, remove members, open joining by email domain, see each member's use and choose the handle its exhibitions are published under. This page covers those tasks.

This page is for the admins of an organisation. It covers the parts of the organisation's page that only admins see. If you are new to organisations, read Work in an organisation first for what an organisation is, how seats work and what members share. Some things are done by Pangur's own administrators rather than by you: creating an organisation, setting its number of seats, verifying its email domains and archiving it. For any of those, contact Pangur through Get help.

The organisation's page

Open your Account page and choose the organisation under Organisations. Its page, at /organisation/<handle>, shows every member the organisation's name, its admins and their own seat. As an admin you also see the sections described below.

Inviting people

  1. Under Invite people, type one or more addresses in Email addresses, separated by commas or new lines.
  2. Choose the role under Join as: member or admin.
  3. Choose Send invitations.

Each address receives an email with a link to join. Pangur reports how many invitations it sent and names anyone at those addresses who is already a member. The section also tells you how many seats are free. If none are, invitations are still sent, but they wait: an invitation that is waiting is accepted as soon as a seat becomes free.

Invitations that have not been accepted are listed under Waiting to join, each with the date until which its link works and, for an admin invitation, a note that the person joins as an admin. Invitations last 14 days, and Withdraw cancels one. What the invited person sees and how they accept is described under Joining an organisation.

Managing members

The Members table lists everyone in the organisation, with a line above it saying how many of the seats are in use. The columns are Person, Role, Joined (which also records how they joined: by invitation, by email domain, or added by Pangur) and Last active.

To change someone's role, choose Member or Admin in the Role for list beside their name. To remove someone, choose Remove… beside their name and confirm with Remove; their seat is freed at once. The organisation must always have at least one admin, so Pangur will not let you remove the last admin or turn them into a member.

What a change does to projects

Admins open every one of the organisation's projects as owners, without being added to each one. This means that an admin who becomes a member loses access to every project they were not separately added to. Removing someone from the organisation removes them from all of its projects as well, apart from any they were added to as a guest. Their personal work in those projects is kept for 30 days so that they can export it. Membership of individual projects is managed in each project's own settings, as described in Project members and roles.

Joining by email domain

If Pangur has verified one of your institution's email domains for the organisation, the page has a section called Joining by email address. Ticking People at the domain can join lets anyone who signs in with a verified address at that domain take a seat without an invitation; unticking it stops that.

Joining by domain uses seats like any other way in, so it stops working when the seats are full. A domain that has not been verified cannot be switched on, and Pangur says so if you try. Ask Pangur to verify a domain for you.

Each member's use

The section Use in the last 30 days shows, for each member, the number of Ask Questions, the Model tokens used and Storage (MB). Questions and tokens cover the last 30 days, whereas storage is what each member holds at the moment.

This is a view of members' activity rather than a bill. Seats and billing for the Institution plan are arranged with Pangur directly (Billing).

The public handle for exhibitions

Exhibitions made in the organisation's projects are published under the organisation's handle. Under Public handle for exhibitions, type a Handle and choose Save. The page then tells you the address the organisation's exhibitions are published at, for example pangur.io/keith-group/, and until a handle is chosen it reminds you that one is needed before exhibitions can be published.

Every member can see the handle, but only admins can change it. Publishing may not be available on every account or deployment; see Publish, protect and take down an exhibition.

Archived organisations

When Pangur archives an organisation, its page says "Archived. Seats no longer give the Institution plan, and nobody new can join." From then on invitations cannot be accepted, and the organisation's projects open read-only for everyone.
