# Organizations & members

> An organization is your institution or lab's home in Dataerai. Manage members and roles, and let people join through institutional sign-in.

An **organization** is the top-level home for your institution, lab, or company. It holds your [projects](/account/projects), members, [groups](/account/groups), and [storage](/account/storage).

## Members and roles

Every member of an organization has a role:

| Role       | What it allows                                                                             |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Member** | Belong to the organization and work in its projects according to the access they're given. |
| **Admin**  | Manage the organization and its members.                                                   |

Open your organization from the user account menu → **Settings** → **Organizations**.

## How people join

* **Added by an admin** — an organization Admin adds members directly.
* **Institutional sign-in (Globus)** — if your organization configures a **Globus** identity provider, people who sign in through that institutional identity join the organization automatically.
* **Email domain** — an organization can allow specific email domains so people with matching addresses join automatically.

<Note>
  Signing in with **Globus** lets researchers use their existing institutional identity instead of a separate password.
