- Organization: Represents a group of users within Benchling, typically corresponding to a company, department, or research group. Organizations provide a many-to-many relationship between users—each user can belong to multiple organizations, and each organization can have multiple users. Users are designated as either ADMIN (with management privileges) or MEMBER within the organization via `GroupMembership`. Organizations can own resources like Projects and Folders, and can contain Teams for finer-grained user grouping. Organizations also control access settings such as whether members can create personal ownables and what default policies apply to new resources. In the UI, organizations appear in user profiles and are used for sharing and access control throughout Benchling.
