Access & policy

End-user documentation never describes “flip a switch because you are platform admin” for org mutations.

Privilege boundary

Action Who can do it
View org settings Org members (some tabs read-only)
Change SSO, security, domains Org admin or owner
Invite / remove members Org admin or owner
Transfer ownership Org owner only
Delete organization Org owner only
View any org (read-only) Platform support (system_admin) — no write bypass

Ownership transfer

  1. Only the owner sees Transfer ownership.
  2. Choose the successor (must already be an org member).
  3. Confirm by typing the organization name.
  4. Effects:
    - Successor becomes org owner
    - Successor becomes owner on every workspace in the org
    - Previous owner becomes workspace admin (not owner)

Plan transfers carefully — this is irreversible without another transfer.

SSO safety

Practice Why
Verify domains before restricting email Prevents locking out legitimate users
Test SSO in a private window Catches misconfigured redirect URIs
Keep one break-glass admin password path until SSO proven Avoid lockout
Review Pending approval regularly Stale requests block new teammates
