# Organizations

> How organizations scope your projects, team, and billing.

An organization is the top-level container in Surnex. Everything else belongs to one:

* **Projects** and all their collected data — rankings, backlinks, audits, AI visibility
* **Members** and their roles
* The **subscription**, plan limits, and invoices
* **API keys** for the REST API

Nothing is shared between organizations. A project in one organization is invisible from another, even to the same person, and plan limits are counted per organization — not per account.

## Your organization in the URL

Every dashboard URL is scoped by organization ID:

```
app.surnex.io/{orgId}/projects
app.surnex.io/{orgId}/projects/{projectId}/dashboard
app.surnex.io/{orgId}/settings/billing
```

That means a URL you copy is organization-specific. A teammate who isn't a member of that organization can't open it.

## Belonging to more than one

You can be a member of several organizations — typical for agencies, or for a consultant who's been added to a client's account. Switch between them with the organization switcher at the top of the sidebar. Switching changes the `{orgId}` in the URL and reloads the projects, team, and billing for the organization you moved to.

Your role can differ per organization. You might be the owner of your own and a member of a client's.

| Notification preferences     | Per member, under [Notification preferences](/notifications/preferences) |

<Note>
  Search locale — location and language — is **not** an organization setting. It's set per project, because different projects usually target different markets. See [Project settings](/projects/settings).

## Plans

An organization with no active subscription is treated as **free**, with the free plan's limits. Subscriptions are per organization, so a second organization is a second subscription. See [Plans](/billing/plans).
