Organizations in StreamNative Cloud
In StreamNative Cloud, the Organization resource is the root node in the StreamNative Cloud resource hierarchy. If you have an annual commitment, there is a 1:1 relationship between one organization and one annual commitment.
Organizations might contain:
- One to many users
- Zero to many service accounts
- Zero to many instances
When you first sign up for StreamNative Cloud, a new organization is created simultaneously with the first user account that belongs to that organization. When you invite another user to StreamNative Cloud, the invited user is added to the existing organization. You can create other organizations as needed.
Organization settings
In the upper-right corner of the StreamNative Cloud Console, click your Profile and select Organizations to check the organizations you belong to.
In addition, you can perform the following operations:
- Create more organizations: click Create organization to add one or more organizations.
- Search for existing organizations: enter an organization’s name in the Search organization field, and then press Enter to search for a specific organization.
Cloud Organization ID
Each organization in StreamNative Cloud is uniquely identified by a Cloud Organization ID.
You can find the Cloud Organization ID from the query parameter org of any StreamNative Cloud Console URL.
Organization profile
Organization profile page allows you to change the organiztion name, set the contact emails for billing and technical. You can get into the Organization profile page from the upper-right corner of the StreamNative Cloud Console:
On the Organization profile page, you can update the below inforamtions:
- Organiztion name: this will change the organiation display name on the StreamNative Cloud.
- Billing contact email: organization’s billing email is where StreamNative Cloud sends billing notification and other billing-related communication.
- Technical contact email: organization’s technical email is where StreamNative Cloud sends cluster notification and other technical-related communication.
Manage Multiple Organizations
Usually, a combination of instances and role-based access control (RBAC) should be used to isolate different projects, teams, or other use cases instead of creating separate organizations. Depending on your requirements, you can optionally create multiple organizations in StreamNative Cloud. Some of the benefits include the following:
-
You can create separate organizations to provide isolation for different business units (for example, projects and teams) without requiring the sharing of billing, adminstration, or anything else between them in the future.
-
If your current organization pays using a cloud service provider’s marketplace, and you need to create resources in a different cloud provider, then creating a new organization is an option.
Note that an alternatively to consider is that you might be able to convert your existing organization to paying StreamNative directly, which allows creation of resources in any mix of cloud providers. To learn more, contact your StreamNative sales representative.
-
Users can seamlessly switch between organizations they belong to.
Limitations
The current implementation of multiple organizations support has the following limitations:
-
