Organization Settings
Organization settings are the policies that apply to every workspace at once. There are only three groups of them, and that is the point: the organization portal holds contract, identity, and cross-workspace concerns, while almost all day-to-day policy is set per workspace.
Find them at Organization Admin > Policies > Platform Settings. Only organization administrators can reach this page.
The organization portal's Policies section has two entries. The workspace portal's has eight. If you are looking for hardware policies, software restrictions, file retention, core limits, or job walltime, you are in the wrong portal. See workspace settings.
Sharing Settings
Allow workspace members to share objects across organization workspaces.
By default, only organization and workspace administrators can share jobs or storage devices with a user in a different workspace. Turning this on extends that ability to every member.
Cross-workspace sharing always needs the recipient's workspace ID as well as their email address, whoever is doing the sharing. Members find their own workspace ID in the workspace switcher. See sharing across workspaces.
Job Settings
Allow non-admin members to view all pending and running jobs within the organization.
Turning this on lets any member see the organization-wide job list and the pending job queue, not just their own work. Administrators always see everything.
Custom Job Field.
Adds an organization-defined field to job submission. If you want per-workspace metadata instead, use custom fields in the workspace portal.
Compliance Settings
Identify this platform with a header badge. Displays a badge in the platform header naming the environment. Useful when your users have access to more than one Rescale platform and you need them to be able to tell at a glance which one they are in.
Require agreement to terms when signing in. Presents text you supply, written in Markdown, that every user must accept before they can use the platform.
A user who declines the agreement is signed out immediately, and the refusal is written to the audit log. Treat this as a gate on access, not a notice.
