Organisations and users

What an organisation is

An organisation is the account that owns your licences, your subscription, and everything you convert. You get one automatically when you register, and you're its Owner. DynDyn.Pdf is single-seat: an organisation has exactly one person in it, for its whole life. There's no way to add anyone else to it, and no way to join someone else's — the account you register is the only organisation you'll ever belong to.

Roles

The Owner role is the only one that is ever assigned to anyone, because there's only ever one person to assign it to. (The underlying system still has Admin, Developer, Billing and ReadOnly roles defined — they back some of the authorization checks and older audit-log entries from before the product went single-seat — but nothing in the product can ever put a person into one of them.) As Owner you can do everything: manage licences and seats, activate and deactivate machines, download software releases, manage billing and the subscription, rename the organisation, and create API tokens for automated use of the product — that's a developer concern, covered in /docs/api.

Security and two-factor authentication

Turn on two-factor authentication from the Security screen. It's strongly recommended, and required for your account specifically because you're always the Owner — without it, you're limited to that Security screen until you enable it. Once it's on, keep your recovery codes somewhere safe: they're your way back in if you ever lose access to your authenticator.
