Join and switch
Review the membership invitation in Notifications or organization memberships. Check organization identity, role/category, position and message before accepting. Use Organization memberships in your workspace to open the organization; return with Personal workspace. Never share your personal password with an organization.
Ownership matters
Read the personal/organization ownership choice when creating a thread. Organization-owned threads retain the organization’s ownership and visibility authority. A personal thread’s authorized owner can change affiliation without silently transferring ownership.
Members and faculty
Authorized admins search usernames and invite people as students, employees, interns or members. Faculty retain ordinary personal accounts with assigned organization/cohort roles. Membership does not automatically expose every private thread; project access is still required.
Dashboard, Threads and Ask GRID
Organization profile sits above Dashboard; Ask GRID sits below it. Dashboard shortcuts are personal to your member view. Threads contains permitted project understanding and contributions. Ask GRID uses connected context you may read—not every institutional document automatically.
