Organizations

Organizations in Quay provide unique features for businesses and other groups, including team-based sharing and fine-grained permission controls.

A central collection of repositories

Your organization is the focal point for all activity that occurs within your public or private repositories. Your repositories are centrally visible and managed within the namespace of your organization. You may share your repositories with as many users and teams as you like, without any additional cost.

Organization settings at a glance

Your organization allows you to view your private repository count and manage billing settings in a centralized place.

You can also see all of the users who have access to your organization and the teams of which they are members. This allows you to audit the access that has been granted in your organization.

Logging for comprehensive analysis

Every time a user in your organization performs an action it is logged and categorized in a way that allows for a complete understanding of how your repositories have been accessed and modified. Each log entry includes the action performed, the authorization which allowed the action to occur, and additional relevant data such as the name of the item which was modified or accessed.

For those times when you need full control when generating reports from your logs, we also allow you to export your logs in JSON format. These can be ingested by custom tooling solutions allowing you to visualize reports in whatever format you require.

Teams simplify access controls

Teams allow your organization to delegate access to your namespace and repositories in a controlled fashion. Each team has permissions that apply across the entire org, and can also be given specific levels of access to specific repositories. A user is switching roles? No problem, change their team membership and their access will be adjusted accordingly.

Owners of your organization, and members of other teams with administrator privileges, have full permissions to all repositories in the organization, as well as permissions to view and adjust the account settings for the organization. Add users to these teams with caution.

Fine-grained control of sharing

Repositories that you create within your organization can be assigned fine-grained permissions just like any other repository. You can also add teams that exist in your organization, or individual users from inside our outside your organization.

In order to protect your intellectual property, we warn you before you share your repositories with anyone who is not currently a member of a team in your organization.
