How Accounts Work

Accencio's accounting system works on a "researcher-first" premise, meaning all accounts are meant to represent a single user. This user can be a researcher, a developer, a key organizational leader, or any other role that requires access to the platform. A user's account also provides the idea of creating a "managed organization", where others researchers can access platform capabilities and operate on shared data together. It is important to note that each organization is separate from the other, meaning that access to products, data, or settings are not shared between organizations.

Managed Organizations

Each account is given a primary, or "managed", organization for which the user is the owner. This organization is used to manage subscriptions the owner pays for, data the owner has access to, and settings the owner configures. All users who are associated to this managed organization are considered "members" of the organization. This is also referred to as your team.

Affiliate Organizations

Each Accencio account may also be invited to join additional organizations setup by other users to manage different projects or to collaborate with other researchers. These are called "affiliate" organizations, and they allow access to that organization, but prevent members that are not the owner to control its access setup or configuration. Being a part of an affiliate organization allows researchers to collaborate on projects without needing to manage the organization's settings.

Joining an Affiliate Organization

Becoming a member of an affiliate organization requires an invitation from the organization's owner. This invitation is sent via email and must be accepted by the recipient to join the organization. Once accepted, the user will have access to the organization's data and products, but will not be able to change the organization's settings or invite other users to the organization.
