Understanding Organizations

What is an organization?

A CRE organization is a collaborative workspace that allows multiple team members to deploy, manage, and monitor workflows together. When you create a CRE account, you either start a new organization (becoming the Owner) or join an existing one (becoming a Member).

An organization serves as a container for:

• Multiple team members with different roles (Owner and Members)
• Linked wallet addresses from all team members
• Deployed workflows visible to all organization members
• Shared monitoring of workflow executions and activity

Organizations enable teams to collaborate on CRE workflows while maintaining individual control over their own wallet addresses and secrets.

Organization structure

Single Owner model

Every organization has exactly one Owner—the person who first created the organization account. The Owner role:

• Cannot be transferred or changed
• Has full administrative control
• Can invite new Members to join
• Can link wallet addresses and deploy workflows

Multiple Members

Members are users invited by the Owner to join the organization. Each member:

• Joins automatically after accepting the invitation and creating their account
• Can link their own wallet addresses to the organization
• Can deploy and manage their own workflows
• Views all organization workflows in the shared dashboard

Shared visibility

All organization members can:

1. View linked wallet keys - Use cre account list-key to see all addresses linked to the organization by any member
2. Monitor all workflows - Access cre.chain.link/workflows to view:
   • All deployed workflows across the organization
   • Recent execution history
   • Workflow status (Active, Paused, Pending)
   • Execution success/failure metrics
   • Activity graphs and trends

Organization roles

CRE uses a simple role-based access control system with two roles:

Key points:

• There is only one Owner per organization
• Owner permissions cannot be transferred
• Only Owners can invite new Members
• Members automatically join after accepting the invitation and creating an account
