How Organisations and Users Relate
In System Garden, all users belong to an organisation. In this way, information can be shared within an organisation freely and easily. Comments can be made, changes in assets can be pushed to stakeholders and workflows between roles may be built.
Each organisation has a separate repository for its own data, thereby keeping information secure and contained. Transfers of data between organisations would need to be a deliberate export and import.
Requesting a New Organisation
When setting up an account in System Garden, an organisation (or repository) needs to be established first. Users are subsequently added once created.
