# Organizations

### Overview

Organizations are the primary containers for separating work in Transform. They prevent cross-client mixing and support scoped access control.

### Key Concepts

* **Organization scope**: container for Projects, Segment Types, and Segments
* **Organization naming**: stable identifiers used across reporting and search
* **Access at Organization scope**: shared access across multiple Projects

### How It’s Used

Create one Organization per client or department. Create Projects inside the Organization for each initiative.

Organizations are also the home for segmentation:

* Segment Types and Segments are managed at the Organization level.
* [Segmentation](/blueprints/segmentation.md)

### Benefits

* Clear separation of work and governance boundaries
* Cleaner access control for multi-Project delivery teams
* Consistent reporting across Projects within a business boundary

### Setup Steps

{% step %}

### Create an Organization

* [Create an Organization](/organizations-and-projects/create-an-organization.md)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Projects inside the Organization

* [Create a Project](/getting-started/create-a-project.md)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure Organization-level structure (optional)

Define segmentation and standard reporting fields.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Best Practices

* Keep Organization names stable and human-searchable.
* Avoid abbreviations in Organization names unless required by policy.
* Use segmentation only for real business dimensions that drive reporting.

### Summary

Organizations separate work and define an access and reporting boundary. Projects inside an Organization contain delivery work items.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/organizations-and-projects/organizations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
