Administration & Billing
Administering a Rescale organization: the structure teams sit in, the controls on what they can spend, and the reports that tell you what happened.
For people (authentication, invitations, offboarding) see Identity & Access.
Administrative capability reaches beyond this section: hardware benchmarking, connectors, licenses and the Software Publisher are all administered too, and are documented with the feature they configure. Administering Rescale maps the whole surface in one page if you are not sure which section to start in.
Structure
Organizations & workspaces
The hierarchy teams sit in, creating workspaces, delegating administration, sharing across them.
Groups & projects
How members, groups, projects and budgets chain together, and why groups come first.
Organization settings
The three organization-wide policy groups, and why most settings are per workspace.
Policies
Control which hardware and software workspace members can use.
Activity
See and act on every job, workstation and storage device in scope.
Controlling spend
Budgets & deposits
Prepaid funds and the caps that govern them. Two separate mechanisms.
Commitment plans
Prepay for compute at a discount. A billing mechanism, not reserved capacity.
Understanding what happened
Billing & reports
Billing summaries, CSV exports, invoices, purchase orders, and credits.
Usage dashboards
Economics and Utilization dashboards: where money and capacity went.
Which spend tool do I want?
Four mechanisms that are easy to confuse:

- Administering Rescale — the whole administrative surface, including the parts documented outside this section
- Identity & Access — users, authentication, and offboarding
- Job priority — the per-job cost/reliability choice
- Archive and delete jobs — stopping ongoing storage charges
