Farkitect
🤷

Forgive us! These docs are a work in progress. Some pages may be incomplete or describe features that aren't quite finished yet. Farkitect is in early development and we don't recommend using it for real work just yet. Feel free to explore — just be aware that things are still being built.

Setting Up Your Organisation

In this tutorial, you’ll learn what an organisation is in Farkitect, explore its settings, and understand how it relates to the people and projects within it.

Prerequisites: You have a Farkitect account and are signed in.

1. What is an Organisation?

Section titled “1. What is an Organisation?”

An organisation is the top-level container in Farkitect. It holds:

  • People — the members who can access the organisation’s projects
  • Projects — the modelling workspaces where actual work happens
  • Settings — configuration that applies across all projects (notification thresholds, jurisdiction)

Every Farkitect account belongs to an organisation. When you first sign up, an organisation is created automatically with you as the Owner.

Think of it this way: the organisation is the “company” or “team” boundary. Projects are the “workspaces” within it. You invite people into the organisation first, and then they can participate in projects.

2. View Organisation Settings

Section titled “2. View Organisation Settings”
  1. Click the gear icon in the toolbar to open the Settings panel
  2. Navigate to the Account section — you’ll see your organisation name and details

Jurisdiction

Section titled “Jurisdiction”

You can set your organisation’s regulatory jurisdiction:

  • NZ — New Zealand
  • AU — Australia
  • UK — United Kingdom
  • Other

This is informational — it helps Farkitect provide contextually relevant features in the future.

Notification Settings

Section titled “Notification Settings”

Organisations can configure BRAG (Blue-Red-Amber-Green) notification thresholds that control when compliance alerts are triggered. These are organisation-wide defaults that apply to all members.

3. Your Role: Owner

Section titled “3. Your Role: Owner”

As the person who created the organisation, you’re the Owner. This is the highest-privilege role:

RoleWhat they can do
OwnerEverything — manage members, manage settings, create projects, delete the organisation. One per organisation.
AdminManage members, manage settings, create projects. Cannot delete the organisation or transfer ownership.
MemberAccess projects they’ve been added to. Cannot manage organisation-level settings or members.

You’ll invite others as Admin or Member depending on how much control they need.
