Workspaces and organizations
Understand personal and team workspaces, create a team through checkout, and manage workspace settings.
The interface uses both workspace and organization for the container that owns websites, members, and subscription access. A website belongs to an organization; its plan limits are not a separate subscription on each page.
Your personal workspace
Signup creates a workspace named from your first name, such as Marta's Personal Workspace, and assigns you ownership.
It starts with the configured Free package. You can create your first website there, then upgrade when you need paid features.
Open /apps to see websites in your working context. Use the organization menu to select the workspace before creating a website, and check the organization summary on the creation screen.
Create a team workspace
For ordinary customer accounts, team creation starts in Billing rather than a freely available Create organization dialog.
- Open
/billing. - Select the Teams plan.
- In checkout, choose whether to upgrade the current workspace or create a new workspace, when both choices are available.
- For a new workspace, enter its name and description.
- Choose monthly or yearly billing and review the total.
- Complete payment through Chapa.
- Return to Opalefy and wait for payment verification.
- Open
/organizationsand confirm the team workspace is available before inviting members.
A new team checkout is provisional until payment verifies. Starting checkout does not immediately give you an active team workspace. Pending team checkout records have a 24-hour lifetime.
Upgrading the current workspace keeps its existing websites in that workspace. Creating a new workspace is not a website transfer operation.
The direct Create organization control is restricted to platform organization-management permission. It is not the normal customer onboarding path.
Manage an organization
Open /organizations and select an organization from the management screen. Tabs and actions depend on your permissions and plan:
- Members and invitations manage who belongs to the workspace.
- Roles manages organization-level access.
- Settings lets authorized users update the name and description.
Names need 2 to 100 characters. Descriptions can contain up to 1,000 characters.
The organization selected inside the management screen identifies the organization you are managing there. Before creating a website or paying, also check the context and workspace name shown in those workflows.
Why team controls may be unavailable
Team management requires both an enabled team-management feature and the appropriate permission for the action.
Free and Personal Pro do not enable team management by default. A paid personal plan is not a team subscription. See Plans and limits.
Leave or archive carefully
Leaving removes your membership; archiving deactivates an organization. These actions are not interchangeable with canceling a subscription.
The server protects the final active owner and prevents removing a person's last active workspace. Organizations with active subscriptions or active websites cannot simply be archived.
Arrange another suitable workspace and owner before trying to leave. Do not assume you can remove the creator's ownership by editing an ordinary role assignment.
Next, read Members, invitations, and roles or Billing and receipts.
