Sub-Organizations
Sub-organizations allow parent organizations to create isolated groups within their account — useful for managing multiple teams, clients, or business units under a single subscription.
Sub-organizations are available on Tier 3 and Alpha plans only.
Overview
- Sub-organizations share the parent organization's scan quota and LOC limits
- Each sub-org can have its own members, repository submissions, BYOK key, and branding logo
- Parent org admins have full visibility and control over all sub-orgs
- Members of the parent organization can see repositories submitted for all sub-organizations
- Sub-org-only members can only see repositories and data belonging to their sub-org
Creating a Sub-Organization
Only parent org admins can create sub-organizations.
- Go to Settings in the top navigation bar
- Scroll to the Sub-Organizations section
- Click Create Sub-Organization
- Enter a unique name for the sub-org
- Click Create
The new sub-org will appear in the list immediately.
Managing Members
Viewing Members
Click on a sub-org row in the Settings page to expand its management panel, then select the Members tab.
Adding Members
Parent org admins and sub-org admins can add members:
- Open the sub-org management panel in Settings → Sub-Organizations
- Click Add Member
- Select an existing organization user or enter an email to invite a new member
- Click Add
Members must belong to the same parent organization. Cross-tenant additions are not allowed.
Removing Members
- Open the sub-org management panel
- Click Remove next to the member you want to remove
Sub-org admins can remove regular members. Only parent org admins can remove sub-org admins.
Submitting Repositories for a Sub-Organization
When submitting a repository, you can assign it to a specific sub-org:
- Go to Submit Repository (or Submit Extension / NPM Package)
- In the Submit for dropdown, select the desired sub-organization (or leave as the default parent org)
- Complete the rest of the submission form and click Start Analysis
The repository will be associated with the selected sub-org and will count toward the parent organization's quota.
Filtering the Dashboard by Sub-Organization
The dashboard supports filtering repositories by sub-org:
- From the Dashboard, use the Organization filter dropdown above the repository list
- Select:
- All Organizations — shows all repositories you have access to
- Parent Org — shows only repositories not assigned to any sub-org
- A specific sub-org name — shows only that sub-org's repositories
Each repository card displays a sub-org badge when it belongs to a sub-org.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) per Sub-Organization
Parent org admins can assign a dedicated Anthropic API key to each sub-org. When set, scans for that sub-org will use the sub-org's key instead of the parent org's key.
Key resolution waterfall: sub-org key → parent org key → MSP key → platform key
Setting a Sub-Org BYOK Key
- Go to Settings → Sub-Organizations
- Expand the sub-org management panel
- Open the BYOK tab (visible to parent org admins only)
- Enter your Anthropic API key and click Save
Removing a Sub-Org BYOK Key
In the same BYOK tab, click Remove Key to revert to the parent org's key.
BYOK per sub-org is only available on plans that support BYOK.
Branding per Sub-Organization
Sub-organizations can have their own logo displayed in reports and shared links, if the parent org admin enables this feature.
Enabling Sub-Org Branding
Parent org admins can enable sub-org branding:
- Go to Settings → Sub-Organizations
- Toggle Allow Sub-Org Branding to on
Uploading a Sub-Org Logo
Once sub-org branding is enabled, sub-org admins can upload a logo:
- Open the sub-org management panel
- Open the Branding tab
- Upload a logo image (PNG, JPG, or GIF, max 5 MB)
- Click Save
Branding resolution: sub-org logo → parent org logo → MSP logo
Archiving a Sub-Organization
Archived sub-orgs are hidden from the dashboard and no longer accept new submissions.
- Go to Settings → Sub-Organizations
- Click Archive next to the sub-org
- Confirm the action
Archiving is a soft delete — existing repositories and data are preserved. Only parent org admins can archive sub-orgs.
