# Organizations, Workspaces, and Roles for users

## How Organizations, Workspaces, and Roles work in Tessl <a href="#how-organizations-and-workspaces-work-in-tessl" id="how-organizations-and-workspaces-work-in-tessl"></a>

**Organizations** are top level entities, often representing the billing or corporate entity, with a subcategory called **Workspaces** that provide role-based access to the various users across the company. Your administrators will create workspaces and provide access based on [Roles](/administrators/roles.md) tessl provides.

Certain actions, like evaluations and publishing are performed from the CLI to the Tessl platform, and your ability to perform these functions will depend on the **Role** assigned, and workspace you have associated with the task you are trying to accomplish. Similarly access to skills, and certain features in the web interface will also be determined by what Organization or Workspace are selected and the roles associated.

When creating Plugins, publishers will publish plugins to the Workspaces they have access to Publish to, similarly Consumers or other roles can search for Plugins that are public or in a workspace where they have permissions.

## Navigating Organizations <a href="#setting-up-your-tessl-organization" id="setting-up-your-tessl-organization"></a>

If you have access to an Organization, or multiple Organizations, clicking your account on the bottom left will display an interface that allows switching. If you do not yet have an organization or been invited to one, you may be prompted to create one.
