An **organization** owns projects, compute targets, and members. Every piece of work in TReqs belongs to one, so it's the first thing to set up. Most teams want exactly one.

## Create an organization

1. From your home page, open the organization switcher and choose **New organization**.
2. Pick a handle. It appears in every URL beneath it — `/<org>/<project>` — so choose something short and stable.
3. You become the organization's **owner**.

Once it exists, add the people you work with. See [Members and roles](/docs/members-and-roles) for what each role can do and how writer and reader seats differ.

## Accept an invitation

If someone adds you to their organization first, you'll get an invitation by email.

1. Open the invitation link from your email.
2. Review the organization, the role, and the seat kind you're being offered.
3. Choose **Join organization**.

Invitations expire. If yours has, ask an admin of that organization to send a new one. Accepting one never affects any other organization you belong to — you can be a member of several.
