Organizations & Teams
Organizations and Teams are the foundation of how work is structured in AllSpice.
They define how people collaborate, how access is managed, and how hardware design work scales across your company.
If you are setting up your workspace or trying to understand how everything connects, start here.
Why this matters
Hardware teams are rarely flat.
You have multiple projects, cross-functional contributors, and varying levels of access to sensitive design data.
Organizations and Teams give you a clear way to:
- Keep collaboration organized as your team grows
- Ensure the right people have access to the right designs
- Reduce confusion around ownership and responsibility
- Maintain control without slowing down engineering work
How it works
AllSpice uses a simple structure that maps to how engineering teams already operate:
-
Organization
Your company’s workspace in AllSpice. Most companies have a single organization that contains all users, teams, and projects. -
Teams
Groups within an organization. These can reflect project teams, disciplines like electrical or firmware, or program-based groupings. -
Members and roles
Define who can view, contribute, or manage repositories and design data.
How to structure your company
In most cases, you will create one organization per company.
Use Teams within that organization to organize:
- Different product lines
- Functional groups like EE, firmware, or manufacturing
- Program or project-based teams
Large enterprises with distinct divisions may choose to use multiple organizations, but this is not the common setup.
