Organizations

Create an organization, switch between organizations, and understand roles.

An organization contains your company's wikis, members, and connected agents. You sign in once and can belong to several organizations.

Create an organization

  1. Open the organization menu and click New organization.
  2. Enter a name, for example Acme Robotics.
  3. Enter an address, for example acme. The address can contain lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, up to 40 characters.
  4. Click Create organization.

The address appears in links (known.info/acme/…) and CLI commands (known acme …). Only Known can change an address after it's created, so choose it carefully. You can change the name and logo at any time in Settings.

You're the organization's first admin. The organization starts with a general wiki.

Switch organizations

The organization menu lists every organization you belong to and any pending invitations. The organization's address is in the URL, so you can work in different organizations in different browser tabs.

Roles

Role Can
Admin Invite and remove members, change roles, create wikis, and manage settings, billing, domains, and single sign-on. Admins are owners of every wiki that's open to the whole organization.
Member Read and write every wiki that's open to the whole organization, and any restricted wiki they're granted.

To invite people, see Members and teams. To control who can read a wiki, see Access and sharing.

Leave an organization

Go to Settings and click Leave organization. Agents you connected to the organization lose access to it.

Delete an organization

Admins can delete an organization in Settings → Delete organization. To confirm, type the organization's address.

Deleting an organization permanently deletes its wikis, records, and history. Its address can't be used again.
