Organizations

An Organization is the top-level container in Alokai CMS. Everything — spaces, users, content — belongs to an organization.

What organizations contain

Organization
├── Spaces (content silos)
└── Members (users with org-level roles)

Default organization

On first setup, Alokai CMS creates a Default Organization automatically. For most single-tenant deployments this is the only organization you’ll ever need.

Organization roles

Members of an organization have one of these roles:

RoleCapabilities
ownerFull access, can delete the organization
adminManage members, spaces, and all settings
developerManage environments and API keys
memberAccess spaces they’re invited to

Switching organizations

The organization switcher in the top-left of the sidebar lets you move between organizations you’re a member of. Your selected organization is persisted in localStorage.

Request context

Every API request specifies its organization via the X-Alokai CMS-Organization header (defaults to "default"). The middleware validates that the authenticated user is a member before processing the request.
