Organizations

What an organization is, how you come to belong to several, how to switch between them, and what happens if you leave.

Video transcript

In this video, you'll create your Bruxel account and your organization.

To get started, sign up with your email and a password.

You'll get a code to confirm your email, and that's it.

The first time you sign in, Bruxel asks for your organization's name.

It's your workspace: your catalog, your credits and your team will live there.

Your organization starts with 30 free credits, so you can try it with your products.

And from here you reach everything: products, generate, review and export.

In Account, you can change your organization's name and its currency.

The currency decides what you're charged in and whether VAT applies.

And to work with your team, invite them: each person has a role in each organization.

In the next video, you'll import your catalog.

What an organization is

It's your workspace, and everything you do lives inside one. Two organizations share nothing at all: if you belong to two, you have two catalogs, two balances and two teams. The only thing that follows you everywhere is your personal account.

What	Where it lives
Catalog, credits and balance	In each organization, separately.
Team, roles, brand voice, tax details, API keys and webhooks	In each organization, separately.
Your email, your password and your second factor	In your personal account, just once.
Your language and your theme (light or dark)	In your personal account, just once.

How you come to belong to several

When you sign up, an organization is created and you become its owner. From then on, the only way into another one is for someone there to invite you: there's no way to create a second one from the app. If you try to sign up again with the same account, Bruxel replies that you already have one.

If you need a separate organization — to keep two brands or two clients apart, say — today the route is to sign up a new account with a different email address: that account will create its own organization and can invite you from there. What doesn't work is trying to create the second one from your current account.

Switching organizations

The switcher sits at the top of the menu, on the organization's name.

It only appears if you belong to more than one. With a single one you'll see the name and nothing to choose.
Switching changes the whole app at once: balance, catalog, team, billing. If your balance ever “looks wrong”, the first thing to check is which organization you're standing in.
Your choice is remembered between sessions. It's stored server-side, so the browser can't read or change it, and tampering with it wouldn't grant access to an organization that isn't yours.

Your role is per organization

You don't have a role in Bruxel: you have a role in each organization. You can be owner in your own and member in a client's. What you can do at any moment depends on where you're standing, not on who you are. The detail of what each role can do is in the Team guide.

Name and currency

Under Account → General, an admin or owner can change the organization's display name and its currency. A member can't.

Currency isn't merely cosmetic: it decides what you're charged in, whether VAT applies, and whether your tax details ask for an RFC or a foreign tax ID. The organization's internal identifier never changes, even if you rename it.

Leaving an organization or deleting it

To leave an organization, ask an admin to remove you from the team; your access is cut immediately and the organization carries on as it was. Deleting your account is a different thing, and it's worth understanding the difference first.

If you delete your account and you are NOT the only owner, your access disappears and nothing else. But if you are the ONLY owner of the organization you're standing in, the ENTIRE organization is deleted: catalog, credits, and the whole team loses access. There's a 30-day grace period before permanent deletion, and within that window we can still recover it. And if you're the only owner of ANOTHER organization, the deletion won't even run: Bruxel rejects it, because an organization can't be left without an owner. Before deleting your account, hand the owner role to someone else in every organization you want to keep.
