Working with your Organization

The Organization is the top-level entity in MonsterOps. It contains your teams, members, and the company-level features that sit above any single team. This article gives you the map.

How the Organization is structured

The Organization is split into three main areas you'll find in the left-side navigation:

• Objectives — company-level goals that Rocks are linked to
• Org Chart — the function-based structure of roles and responsibilities
• Core Values — the beliefs that guide how the team makes decisions

In addition, every Organization has its own three-dot menu (located on the Organization itself in the left-side navigation), which opens three admin areas:

• Billing / Plan — payment method and current subscription
• Team Members — the people who belong to your Organization, with their permission levels and team memberships
• Settings — Organization-wide configuration, branding, terminology, and API integrations

Organization-level features vs. team-level features

It's worth understanding what sits at the Organization level versus inside a team:

• Organization level: Objectives, Org Chart, Core Values, Billing/Plan, Organization-wide Team Members, Settings
• Team level: News, Rocks, KPIs, To-dos, Issues, Meetings, Team Dashboard, Team Members (per-team), Team Settings

Some terms overlap — "Team Members" exists at both levels, but with different scope. Organization Team Members covers everyone in the Organization and their permission levels; the team-level Team Members section only covers who's on a particular team.

Permission levels

The Organization has three permission levels:

• Owner
• Admin
• Member

Permission gating applies in several places:

• Organization Settings is restricted to Owners and Admins.
• Changing other users' permission levels is restricted to Owners and Admins (an Admin can't demote themselves — only an Owner can demote an Admin).
• Objectives (direct create/edit/archive/delete) is restricted to Owners and Admins, though Members can influence Objective progress indirectly by linking their Rocks.
• Org Chart roles (add, edit, delete) is restricted to Owners and Admins.
• Approving email domains and removing team members is restricted to Owners and Admins.

Most other everyday actions — creating items, joining and managing teams, inviting team members, creating new teams, running meetings — are open to anyone.

A separate Super Admin level exists for internal access. Team deletion is restricted to the Organization Owner and Super Admins; regular Admins cannot delete teams through the product.
