Organization

The Organization module is your central hub for managing everything related to your organization in Pilotus — from monitoring activity and browsing resources to controlling user access and configuring settings.

The Six Tabs

When you open the Organization module, you’ll see up to six tabs depending on your role:

Organization overview with key metrics and recent activity. Visible to all members.


Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you a quick overview of your organization’s activity and key metrics.

Recent Activity

A chronological feed shows recent actions across the organization, including:

  • Which entity was affected
  • When it happened

Each row displays:

Role badges are color-coded:

Each row shows:

  • Name — Resource name

    A request dialog will appear.

    The resource owner will be notified of your request.


Permissions

The Permissions tab provides a unified interface for managing who has access to what across your entire organization.

Three View Modes

  • Add permissions — Use the add button to grant a user access to a plan or committee

Parameters

The Parameters tab lets administrators configure organization-wide settings.

Tag Best Practices

Good tags:

  • Categories: “Budget”, “Marketing”, “HR”
  • Priority levels: “Urgent”, “Quick Win”
  • Departments: “IT”, “Finance”, “Operations”

Avoid:

  • Too many tags (creates confusion)
  • Overlapping tags (unclear which to use)
  • Overly specific tags (rarely reused)

Understanding Permissions

Pilotus uses a three-level permission system with complete separation between levels:

  • Admin: Manage org settings, users, and permissions. View all plans/committees for permission management.
  • Member: View organization information, browse the directory, and see personal access.

Organization permissions do not grant access to plan or committee content.

Key Principles

  1. Access is explicit — No one has access unless specifically granted
  2. Levels are independent — Organization admin does NOT equal plan owner
  3. Plan ≠ Committee — Each resource has its own separate permissions

Best Practices

For Administrators

  • Regular audits — Review the Permissions tab periodically to ensure access is current
  • Least privilege — Grant only the access level each user actually needs
  • Consistent tags — Maintain a manageable, well-organized tag system
  • Onboard properly — When adding new users, grant plan and committee access after inviting them

Onboarding New Users

  1. Invite to the organization

    Use Platform Access to send an email invitation.

  2. Grant plan access

    Add them to relevant plans with appropriate roles (Owner, Contributor, or Reader).

  3. Grant committee access

    Add them to relevant committees.

  4. Share this guide

    Point them to the Getting Started page.

Troubleshooting Access

If a user can’t see something:

  1. Check organization membership — Are they in the organization?
  2. Check plan permissions — Do they have access to the specific plan?
  3. Check committee permissions — Do they have access to the specific committee?

Remember: Each level requires explicit access. Being an organization admin does not automatically give access to plan or committee content.
