Organization policy reference
Organization policy is the team-level configuration layer between plan entitlement and individual/resource permissions.
Policy categories
Depending on the current Organizations 3.0 rollout, policies can govern categories such as:
Inherit vs override
An effective setting can come from the plan/platform default and then be narrowed by organization policy.
A useful UI distinguishes:
- inherited/default
- explicitly enabled
- explicitly disabled
- custom limit
Narrowing access
An organization can usually make access more restrictive than a plan’s maximum. A plan that includes FORGE does not require the organization to enable FORGE for every member.
Policy changes
Before changing a policy used by production workflows:
- Identify affected members/resources.
- Check automation and developer integrations.
- Make the smallest change.
- Verify expected access with a representative non-admin account.
- Review audit history when available.
Troubleshooting
If a feature is available to a personal account but missing inside an organization, check organization policy before treating the behavior as a platform outage.
Policy changes can affect many users at once. Avoid using broad organization policy to solve one person’s isolated permission issue when a narrower resource or user override is available.
