Organizations

An Organization is the top-level container in Topographer that holds all your projects, teams, and users. Organization administrators can manage settings, view activity logs, and control project lifecycle.

Switching Organizations

If you belong to multiple organizations, you can switch between them using the organization picker in the left navigation. Click on your current organization name to see a list of all organizations you have access to.

Activity Log

The Activity Log provides a chronological record of important actions taken within your organization, such as:

  • Users added to or removed from teams
  • Projects created, modified, or deleted
  • Permission changes
  • Configuration updates

Project Administration

Organization administrators can view and manage all projects within the organization.

Viewing Projects

The Projects page displays all projects in your organization. Projects are filtered based on your permissions—you’ll only see projects you have access to unless you’re an administrator.

Project Details

Click on a project to view its details, including:

  • Project name and configuration
  • Teams that have access to the project
  • Project-specific settings

Soft Deletion and Restoration

When a project is deleted, it enters a “soft deleted” state rather than being permanently removed. During the retention period, administrators can restore soft-deleted projects.

To view deleted projects:

  1. Navigate to Organization → Projects
  2. Toggle the “Show deleted” option
  3. Deleted projects appear with a visual indicator

To restore a deleted project:

  1. Find the deleted project in the list
  2. Click Restore

Retention Period

Your organization has a configurable retention period that determines how long soft-deleted items (such as projects) are retained before permanent deletion. The default retention period is 90 days.

💡 Data Retention

Organization administrators can adjust the retention period in Organization Settings.

Organization Settings

Organization settings allow administrators to configure organization-wide options:

  • Name: The display name for your organization
  • Retention Period: How long deleted items are kept before permanent deletion (1-365 days)
