FAQ
Who is the Organization Owner?
The Owner is the user who originally created the organization. Ownership cannot be transferred.
Can I have multiple Owners?
No. Each organization has exactly one Owner.
Why can't I remove users?
Only the Organization Owner can remove users. If you need to remove a user, contact your Organization Owner.
Why can't I enable MFA?
MFA settings can only be changed by the Organization Owner. Contact your Owner to enable organization-wide MFA.
What happens if I remove a user who has active resources?
The resources remain intact. Removing a user only revokes their access to the organization, it does not delete any cloudspaces or VMs they created.
Can removed users be re-invited?
Yes. You can send a new invitation to a previously removed user's email address.
