Organizations

Organizations serve as the fundamental collaborative workspace within Viduli, providing a centralized environment where teams can work together on cloud projects. They act as the organizational boundary that brings together people, projects, and resources under a unified management structure.

Every cloud asset you provision on Viduli - whether it's an application, database, cache, or any other resource - belongs to an organization. This ownership model ensures clear resource management and billing boundaries while enabling seamless collaboration among team members who have access to the organization.

When you first create your Viduli account, you'll be required to establish an organization as part of the onboarding process. This ensures that you have a proper workspace ready for your cloud projects from day one.

Each organization is identified by a globally unique name that serves as its primary identifier across the Viduli platform. Additionally, organizations have a display label that appears throughout the console interface, providing a more user-friendly way to identify your workspace in the user interface.

Creating an Organization

The organization creation process is seamlessly integrated into your Viduli onboarding experience. Immediately after signing up for your account, you'll be prompted to create your first organization. If for any reason you need to access this functionality later, you can navigate directly to the Viduli console where the organization creation workflow will be available.

Organizations are completely free to create, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to getting started with Viduli. There are no setup fees, monthly charges, or hidden costs associated with creating and maintaining an organization - you only pay for the cloud resources you actually provision and use.

Organization Settings

Managing your organization settings is straightforward through the Viduli console interface. To access these settings, locate the menu in the bottom-left corner of the console and click on your profile, then select "Organization" from the dropdown menu.

The organization settings page provides access to general configuration options including your organization's name and display label. These basic settings allow you to maintain accurate identification and branding for your workspace as your team and projects evolve.

The settings interface is organized with intuitive tabs that provide easy navigation to different aspects of your organization management, including billing configuration and invoice history. This tabbed layout ensures you can quickly access the specific administrative functions you need without navigating through multiple pages.

Organization Members

Organizations support team collaboration through a role-based member system. You can invite teammates to join your organization, enabling them to collaborate on projects and resources based on their assigned roles and team memberships.

Organization Roles

Viduli organizations support two distinct roles that determine member permissions:

• Organization Manager - Administrative access to manage organization settings, invite and remove members, create and manage teams, and oversee all projects and resources within the organization

Billing

Viduli's billing management system provides comprehensive tools for managing your payment information and billing preferences. To access billing settings, in the bottom-left corner of the console, click on your profile menu, and select "Billing" from the available options.

The billing interface offers a centralized location where you can manage all aspects of your payment configuration. This includes editing your billing address information to ensure accurate invoicing and tax compliance, as well as comprehensive payment method management.

Within the billing section, you have full control over your payment methods, including the ability to add new payment options and remove outdated ones. This flexibility ensures that your billing setup can adapt to changing business needs or personal preferences while maintaining uninterrupted service.

Billing Address

Your billing address serves as the official record for tax and legal purposes, containing your legal business name or personal name along with the jurisdiction information required for proper tax compliance. This information is crucial for ensuring that invoices meet legal requirements and that tax calculations are applied correctly based on your location.

The billing address information appears prominently on all invoices generated by Viduli, providing the necessary documentation for your accounting records and ensuring compliance with business expense reporting requirements.

Viduli's flexible payment system allows you to add multiple payment methods to your account, providing redundancy and convenience for your billing needs.
