Organizations FAQ

1. What are organizations?

An organization contains your devices, device groups, content (apps and files) and users.

2. Can I create and belong to multiple organizations?

Yes. ArborXR's multi-organization functionality enables you to create multiple organizations and easily toggle between them.

3. Are organizations nested within a parent organization?

No, organizations are not nested within a parent organization.

ArborXR is managed on a per-organization basis. What this means is if you are an Organization Owner in two or more organizations, you will need to toggle between them to manage billing. For more information on billing please read our Billing FAQ.

4. When should I create multiple organizations?

As a general rule, we recommend leveraging ArborXR's device groups functionality which enables you to organize your devices by e.g. client, department, etc. For more information about device groups please see this article. However, there may be certain circumstances where creating multiple organizations may be warranted in order to meet your business requirements.

For example, if you are an XR solutions provider or an ISV with multiple clients, and you need to give each of your clients the ability to manage their own devices, you can create a separate organization for each of them. This ensures that each of your clients has their own sandboxed environment where they can manage their own devices, device groups, and users. You can then remotely share your apps from your organization to theirs leveraging ArborXR's content sharing functionality. For more information about content sharing please see this article.

Please reach out to support@arborxr.com if you are unsure whether device groups or multi-organizations makes the most sense for your use case and we will be happy to advise.

5. Is there an additional cost associated with creating multiple organizations?

Not necessarily. The only cost associated with ArborXR is a flat fee per device, per month (billed annually).

If you have less than 5 devices added to your organization, and are primarily using your organization to build a library of apps to then share those apps with other organizations, then you will be a part of the Free Plan and will not be billed. For more information on billing please read our Billing FAQ.

6. Do I need to create a separate login per organization?

No, you will be able to access each organization you are a part of using your existing ArborXR username and password.

7. How can I create organizations?

By default, your organization switcher will display all the organizations associated with your email address. To create another organization:

Click on the logo in the top left hand corner of the header to open the organization switcher.
Click Create Organization.
Name your organization, add a logo, then click Create Organization.

8. Is there a limit to the number of organizations I can join or create?

Click Manage Organizations.
In the Manage Organizations page locate the organization you want to leave then click the more options icon.

Leaving the last (or only) organization you are a part of will result in the permanent deletion of your ArborXR account since you will no longer be a part of any other organizations.

10. How can I delete an organization I created?

Only Organization Owners can delete organizations. You are an Organization Owner of any organizations you create. You can also become an Organization Owner in organizations you did not create if you are added to them and assigned the role Organization Owner. Note that only Organization Owners can assign other users the role of Organization Owner.

Organizations are not nested within a parent organization.
