# Organization

## What is an Organization?

An organization is a home for different projects. You can invite your colleagues, clients or partners to your Organization to start collaborating in AnnoStation.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can belong to multiple Organizations. If you belong to more than one Organizations, you can choose an Organization to work on after login.
{% endhint %}

## Invite members to your Organization

1. Select the `Organization Members` tab.
2. Click on **Invite members** and enter the email address of members you want to invite.
3. Selecting **Send invitation** will send an invitation email to the provided email address if the member is new to AnnoStation.

You can now see the members are added to your Organization. If you want to give administrative permissions, you need to change the type of the member to `owner`.

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to be an owner of your Organization in order to invite members. 
{% endhint %}

### Member status

**Pending**

When members are invited to an Organization but have not yet accepted the invitation email, the status remains **Pending**. Pending members cannot log in to AnnoStation. 

Once they accept the invitation, the status changes to **Active**. 

**Active**

**Active** members can log in to AnnoStation and collaborate on Projects.

## Remove members

If you are an owner, you can remove a member by clicking the trash bin icon next to the member you want to remove.
