# Setting Up Your Organization

> How to create an organization, configure settings, and invite members on XCS.

This guide covers creating your first organization, understanding member roles, and inviting other people to join.

## What Is an Organization?

An organization is the top-level entity in XCS. It represents a group, studio, or company that owns locations and manages access points. Every member of XCS belongs to at least one organization, and every location belongs to exactly one organization.

Think of an organization as your team or studio on XCS. Locations (such as game servers, offices, or zones) live inside it, and each location has its own set of access points.

## Create Your First Organization

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the Organizations page">
    After logging in, you will see the Organizations option in the sidebar or
    dashboard. If you do not have an organization yet, you will be prompted to
    create one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Create Organization'">
    Look for the "Create Organization" button on the Organizations page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter organization details">
    Fill in the following:

    * **Name** -- A descriptive name for your
      organization (e.g., "Restrafes & Co.")

    * **Description** -- An optional note
      about the organization's purpose
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click "Create Organization." You are now the owner of this organization.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Understanding Roles

Every member of an organization has a role that controls what they can do:

| Role       | Permissions                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Owner**  | Full control. Can delete the organization, manage all settings, invite and remove members, create and delete locations, configure access points. Only one owner per organization (transfer requires contacting support). |
| **Admin**  | Can invite members, manage locations and access points, view settings. Cannot delete the organization or remove the owner.                                                                                               |
| **Member** | Can view locations and access points. Cannot modify settings, manage members, or create locations.                                                                                                                       |

You can change a member's role from the organization management page.

## Invite Members to Your Organization

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to your organization page">
    Open your organization from the Organizations list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Members section">
    Scroll to the members section of the organization page. You will see a list
    of current members and an "Invite Member" button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate an invite code">
    Click "Invite Member." XCS generates an invite code linked to your
    organization. You can optionally set an expiration date for the invite code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the invite code">
    Send the invite code to the person you want to invite.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="tip">
  If the person already has an XCS account, they can join your organization by
  going to their dashboard and using the "Join Organization" option with the
  invite code. They do not need to create a new account.
</Callout>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Cannot create an organization">
    <p>
      Verify that your email is confirmed. Unverified accounts cannot create
      organizations. If your email is verified and you still cannot create one,
      your account may have restrictions. Contact{" "}
      <strong>[xcs@restrafes.co](mailto:xcs@restrafes.co)</strong> for assistance.
    </p>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Invite code expired">
    <p>
      Invite codes can have expiration dates set by the creator. Generate a new
      invite code from the organization's member management page and share the
      new code.
    </p>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Need to transfer ownership">
