Enterprise Hub in Airtable

• Workspaces - Every workspace within an organization must belong to an org unit. Bases and interfaces within the workspace also belong to the org unit. Workspaces may only belong to one org unit.

• Org unit membership - Every organization member must belong to an org unit (org unit member). Users may be members of multiple org units. Org unit members create workspaces within their org unit. Org unit membership is not required to collaborate on workspaces, bases, and interfaces that belong to an org unit.

• Org unit group - Each org unit member belongs to a user group that represents the entire org unit. Users may share workspaces, bases, and interfaces with this group to provide broad visibility and access to all org unit members.

• Default org unit - If an organization member does not belong to an org unit, they are “unassigned” and become a member of the default org unit.

NOTE

Each org unit has a unique enterprise account ID, so orgs with Enterprise Hub enabled have multiple associated enterprise accounts, one for the overall org and one for each org unit.

Included in the "Sharing & data" and "Integrations & development" pages of "Settings," super admins can view and establish the default settings applied to all org units. All new org units will aos inherit these settings once created. Super admins may set different settings for each org unit. The default org unit settings always equal the org's default settings.

Super admins can pass on the responsibility of setting their organization's administration to their org unit admins. For each setting, super admins can set it to set the administration of org units to org unit admins. For each of these settings, the super admin can set it to:

• Unlocked: Org unit admins may override the org defaults for their specific org unit.

• Locked: Org unit admins cannot make changes to admin panel settings.

To lock a setting:

1. Click the arrow to the right of the setting from either "Sharing & data" or "Integrations & development." 

2. Toggle the Lock settings button on/off at the bottom of the page.

Note

After a super admin locks a setting, they need to click “Apply default to all”  to make all org units match the default setting.

No, users only need one license for their activity across the organization. Additionally, collaborating across multiple organizations doesn't require additional user licenses.

In the admin panel, super admins can view licenses according to the user’s maximum permission level across the organization. When viewing specific org units, super admins and org unit admins will see licenses according to the user’s maximum permission level in that specific org unit.

Users only consume one license for their activity across multiple orgs. Airtable does not double bill for users who collaborate on multiple org units. A user’s seat type is reflected across the org.

Yes, service accounts can be upgraded to have super admin access.

Enterprise Hub allows you to centralize billing with a single invoice per organization. Customers can then chargeback from that single invoice to different cost centers. We support internal chargeback workflows in three key ways:

• SCIM metadata: Super admins may assign cost centers to org members with SCIM metadata. This appears in the Users page of the admin panel and the users CSV download. SCIM may only assign metadata to org members.

• Org unit membership: Each org member is either a member of an org unit or the default org unit. This will appear in the Users page of the admin panel. This is useful for customers who do not use SCIM and want to determine charge backs based on org unit membership. External users may not have org unit membership.

• Org unit collaboration: From the users CSV download, we list each org unit where a user is currently a collaborator. This is useful for customers who determine chargebacks based on where users collaborate. Additionally, this helps identify billing accountability for external users.

Each user group within an org must belong to a single org unit. When a user creates a user group, it belongs to their member org unit. 

When displaying the autocomplete, users can view the following groups:

• User groups that belong to their member org unit

• User groups where they are a group member

• User groups that belong to the default org unit
