# Organizations and workspaces

An organization brings a team's people, workspaces and billing together. A workspace is where that team makes and shares work: chats, templates, brand kits, connections and automations.

Organization features appear only on accounts with organization access. If you use a personal account, you can keep creating videos and connecting the API without joining a company organization.

## Choose where you work

Use the organization and workspace menu to choose your workspace **before starting a new chat**. The selection applies to that browser tab. A chat keeps the organization and workspace where it was created; switching the menu does not move the chat or change the payer for an existing run.

Opening a shared chat switches to its workspace when you have access. If you cannot enter that workspace, ask an organization Owner or Admin to assign you access.

Your personal organization, when available, is separate from a company organization. Files and chats do not move between them just because you join a team. Some company accounts are restricted to their company organization. Ask your administrator about moving existing work before changing accounts.

## Find your team

Open **Settings → Organization → Workspaces**. Select a workspace to see its people, open workspace settings or add someone. Owners and Admins can create workspaces. Workspace Managers manage the workspaces assigned to them.

**People** is the organization-wide directory for Owners and Admins. It is where they manage organization membership and each person's workspace assignments. Workspace Members and Managers use their workspace's people list instead.

Joining an organization does not necessarily give you a workspace. An administrator can deliberately leave a person unassigned. That person sees a message to contact their administrator rather than an empty workspace they cannot use.

## What is shared

| Item | Where access is decided |
| - | - |
| Chat and video | The chat's sharing settings and workspace role |
| Template or brand kit | Its sharing settings: use or edit |
| Uploaded Library asset | The person who uploaded it, within the selected workspace |
| Workspace connection | Workspace access and agent permissions |
| Personal connection | Its owner and that owner's permission for the message |
| Credits | The organization billing account and applicable spending limits |

Workspace membership does not make every upload or every personal connection public. Read [Sharing chats](https://docs.motion.so/product/shared-chats.md), [Templates and brand kits](https://docs.motion.so/product/templates-brand-kits.md), and [Connections](https://docs.motion.so/product/connections.md) before sharing sensitive material.

## Remove a workspace or organization

Deleting removes access; it is not a way to move work. The app asks you to type the name before confirming deletion. See [Deletion and access](https://docs.motion.so/product/deletion.md) for who can delete and what happens to existing work.
