How Organizations Work in Sched

An Organization is a shared space for related events in Sched. It helps keep events grouped together and supports features such as better analytics, billing (coming soon), and user management.

Every new event in Sched must belong to an Organization. If you are creating a new event, you will need to choose an existing Organization or create a new one. If you are only attending or speaking at an event, you do not need one.

Organization access vs. Event access

Being part of an Organization is not the same as being an admin of an event.

• Organization access controls what you can do in the Organization workspace.
• Event admin access controls what you can do inside a specific event.

For example, you might be able to open the Organization workspace but not edit a specific event. Or, you might be able to manage an event but not open the Organization workspace.

• Owner: Can manage the Organization, members, roles, permissions, and Organization name.
• Contributor: Can usually open the Organization workspace and view events in the Organization.

Note: Contributors can only edit an event if they are also added as an admin for that event.

How to access your Organization workspace and settings

1.  Go to My Events or Login
2.  Click New Dashboard. 
3.  This opens the Organization workspace linked to your current event.
   In the Organization workspace, you can:
   •  You can edit the Organization name to rename it 
   •  You can invite a contributor to add to your Organization 
   •  You can manage permissions for an existing member 
   • You can switch to workspaces if you belong to multiple Organizations

Not assigned to an Organization: If you see this, the event has not yet been linked to an Organization. Click it to assign the event to your Organization.

Note: You may see this for events that were created before the Organizations feature was released.

When do I need an Organization?

You need an Organization whenever a new event is being created.

This includes:

•  Signing up as an Event Planner
•  Creating a new event as an existing user 
•  Duplicating an event 

What to expect:
The Organization step may look different depending on how the event is created.

• If you sign up as an Event Planner, Sched automatically creates an Organization for you. You can name it during signup or skip that step and name it later.
•  If you create a new event as an existing user, you must choose an existing Organization or create a new one. 
• If you duplicate an event, the duplicate stays in the same Organization when possible.
