# Create Your Organization (https://terac.com/docs/researchers/getting-started/create-organization)

Set up your organization on Terac to start managing research projects and team members.

An organization is your team's workspace on Terac. It holds your projects, opportunities, team members, billing, and integrations. Every researcher belongs to at least one organization.

## Creating an Organization [#creating-an-organization]

1. **Sign up or log in**

   Go to [terac.com](https://terac.com) and create an account using Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Microsoft. If you already have an account, log in.

2. **Set up your organization**

   After signing in, you'll be prompted to create an organization. Provide:

   * **Organization name** - your company or team name
   * **Logo** - optional, displayed to participants in opportunity listings

3. **Invite your team**

   Add team members by email. Each member gets a role that controls what they can access. See [Members and Roles](https://terac.com/docs/researchers/team/members-and-roles) for details.

## Organization Settings [#organization-settings]

Once created, configure your organization from **Settings** in the sidebar:

| Setting             | Description                                     |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| General             | Organization name, logo, and research context   |
| Members             | Invite, remove, and manage team member roles    |
| Roles & Permissions | See what each role can do                       |
| Finance             | Credit balance, top-up, and transaction history |
| API Keys            | Generate keys for the Terac API                 |
| Integrations        | Connect Slack                                   |
| Security            | MFA enforcement and SSO configuration           |
| Activity            | Audit log of organization actions               |

## Research Context [#research-context]

In the General settings, you can set a **Research Context** for your organization. This is background information about your company and research goals that the AI moderator uses when conducting screening interviews on your behalf. A well-written context helps the AI ask better follow-up questions and evaluate participant fit more accurately.

## Multiple Organizations [#multiple-organizations]

You can belong to multiple organizations. Use the organization switcher in the top-left of the dashboard to move between them. Each organization has its own billing, members, and projects.
