What an account is
A Beyond account identifies one person. You reach it with one or more sign-in methods: GitHub, Google, or an email address with a password. The account has a name, a language and an appearance preference. It does not belong to any product.
An account can belong to organizations. An organization groups people, and each member has one of four roles: Owner, Administrator, Developer or Viewer. You can use your account without belonging to any organization.
The interface says it in one sentence, which is worth keeping in mind on every page of this section: "A role here decides membership. What someone may do in Workspace, CDN or Delegate is decided by that product." Identity and resource permissions explains who decides what, and Account, organization and product workspace explains how the three differ.
The screens of the interface
After you sign in, a short navigation row gives you four places, with these exact names:
| Screen | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Overview | Your organizations, the one you are working in, and links that open each product without signing in again |
| Organizations | The organizations you belong to, your role in each, and Create organization. Each organization opens its members, its invitations and, for Owners and Administrators, its Settings |
| Your account | Your name, your language and the appearance of the interface |
| Sign-in and sessions | The ways you can sign in, and where you are signed in |
The header always shows Working in: followed by the selected organization, or No organization selected. It also holds the language selector, the appearance selector and Sign out.
On Overview, the button Continue next to an organization selects it as the one you are working in; the selected organization shows the tag Working in, and its button changes to No organization selected, which clears the selection. Selecting an organization is context. It grants nothing.
