Organizations and roles

Everything in OpenAppHub belongs to an organization: your association, board or nonprofit. You can belong to more than one. The organization switcher at the top of each page shows which one you’re working in, and your choice carries across the apps.

Role Can
Owner Everything, including deleting the organization and transferring ownership. Exactly one per organization.
Admin Manage people, invitations and settings.
Member Use the apps and make changes.
Viewer See, but not change.

Apps can add their own roles on top (for example a board’s chair or secretary, or a treasurer). Those never give more access than the person’s role here.

Owners and admins change roles on the Members page. Anyone except the owner can select Leave there to leave an organization.

  • Create: open the organization switcher and select Create organization. You become the owner, and the guided setup asks for the time zone, currency and who to invite.
  • Switch: choose another organization in the switcher. Every app follows.

Open Settings in the side menu.

Setting Who can change it What it does
Name Owner or admin Shown in every app.
Time zone and currency Owner or admin (others see them) Every app shows dates in this time zone and money in this currency.
Billing contact Owner or admin Where invoices and receipts go, if not to the owner, plus an optional name for invoices.

An organization always has exactly one owner. The owner can’t leave, be removed or delete their account until they transfer ownership or delete the organization.

Only the owner can transfer ownership:

  1. In Settings, under Transfer ownership, choose the new owner. The list shows only active members: people who have confirmed their email address.
  2. Type the new owner’s name exactly as shown (or their email address if they haven’t set a name). Capitals and extra spaces don’t matter.
  3. Select Transfer ownership.

The new owner takes over straight away and you become an admin. You can’t undo it yourself: ask the new owner to transfer it back.

Someone missing from the list? They need to accept their invitation and confirm their email address first.

Only the owner can. In Settings, under Delete organization, type the organization’s name to confirm. This deletes its data in every app and can’t be undone, so export anything you need first.
