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. Can organizations be nested within a parent organization?
No, organizations cannot be nested within a parent organization. Organizations are "flat" relative to each other.
Note that devices, device groups, content (apps and files) and users are sandboxed within an organization.
4. When should I create multiple organizations?
This is recommended for customers who require their devices, device groups, content (apps and files) and/or users to be sandboxed by client or department.
Example 1:
If you are an XR solutions provider or an ISV with multiple clients and require devices, content and/or users to be sandboxed per client, you can create a separate organization for each client. You can then remotely share apps from the parent organization to the child organizations by leveraging content sharing. For more information about content sharing please see this article. You can (optionally) establish account hierarchy in terms of billing. This is recommended for customers who require their devices, device groups, content (apps and files) and users to be sandboxed by either client or department, but would like to consolidate and manage billing across all their organizations from one place. For more information on establishing billing account hierarchy, please see this article.
Example 2:
If you are enterprise or educational institution with VR deployed across multiple departments and require devices, content and/or users to be sandboxed per department, you can create a separate organization for each department. You can then remotely share apps from the parent organization to the child organizations by leveraging content sharing. For more information about content sharing please see this article. You can (optionally) establish account hierarchy in terms of billing. This is recommended for customers who require their devices, device groups, content (apps and files) and users to be sandboxed by either client or department, but would like to consolidate and manage billing across all their organizations from one place.

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). In other words, you will only be billed for the additional organizations you create if you exceed the 5 free device limit and therefore upgrade those organizations to the standard plan.
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.
