  description: >-
    An organization owns realms, teams (through its scopes) and people. Every
    organization

    has four built-in roles, **Owner**, **Admin**, **Operator** and **Member**,
    and can define

    its own: a role is a named set of permissions (List permissions shows them
    all). Owners can

    do everything; `org.delete` and `org.transfer` belong to owners only.


    **Scopes** are the organization's package namespaces (`@acme`,
    `@acme-labs`): teams are

    published under a scope, and only the scope's members may publish to it. The
    organization's

    **team library** lists the teams its realms may use. Organization-wide
    notification rules

    also live here.


    People join an organization through Send an invitation. Organizations are
    created by site

    administrators for their future owner.
