# Organizations

> An organization is a logical grouping of resources (e.g. users, policies, wallets). These resources can only be accessed by authorized and permissioned users within the organization. Resources are not shared between organizations.

## Root quorum

All organizations are controlled by a [Root Quorum](/concepts/users/root-quorum) which contains the root users and the required threshold of approvals to take any action. Only the root quorum can update the root quorum or feature set.

## Features

Organization features are Turnkey product offerings that organizations can opt-in to or opt-out of. Note that these features can be set and updated using the activities `ACTIVITY_TYPE_SET_ORGANIZATION_FEATURE` and `ACTIVITY_TYPE_REMOVE_ORGANIZATION_FEATURE`. The following is a list of such features:

| Name                             | Description                                   | Default  | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| FEATURE\_NAME\_EMAIL\_AUTH       | Enables email bundle authentication           | Enabled  | The `email_auth` activity can only be initiated by a parent organization for a sub-organization.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| FEATURE\_NAME\_OTP\_EMAIL\_AUTH  | Enables email OTP authentication              | Enabled  | The `init_otp`, `verify_otp` and `otp_login` activities can only be initiated by a parent organization for a sub-organization.                                                                                                                                             |
| FEATURE\_NAME\_WEBAUTHN\_ORIGINS | The origin Webauthn credentials are scoped to | Disabled | Parent organization feature applies to all sub-organizations. If not enabled, sub-organizations default to allowing all origins: "\*". For Passkey WaaS, we highly recommend enabling this feature. Example value: "[https://www.turnkey.com"](https://www.turnkey.com%22) |
| FEATURE\_NAME\_WEBHOOK           | A URL to receive activity notification events | Disabled | Example value: "[https://your.service.com/webhook"](https://your.service.com/webhook%22)                                                                                                                                                                                   |

## Permissions

All activity requests are subject to enforcement by Turnkey's policy engine. The policy engine determines if a request is allowed by checking the following:

* Does this request violate our feature set?
  * Email auth cannot be initiated if disabled
* Should this request be denied by default?
  * All import requests must target your own user
* Does this request meet the root quorum threshold?
* What is the outcome of evaluating this request against all organization policies? Outcomes include:
  * `OUTCOME_ALLOW`: the request is allowed to process
  * `OUTCOME_REQUIRES_CONSENSUS`: the request needs additional approvals
  * `OUTCOME_REJECTED`: the request should be rejected
  * `OUTCOME_DENY_EXPLICIT`: the request has been explicitly denied via policies
  * `OUTCOME_DENY_IMPLICIT`: the request has been implicitly denied as no policies grant the required permissions
* Should this request be allowed by default?
  * Users can manage their own credentials unless policies explicitly deny this

## Resource limits

Organizations have [resource limits](/concepts/resource-limits) for performance and security considerations. If you're bumping into these limits, check out sub-organizations below.

## Sub-organizations

A sub-organization is an isolated organization that has a pointer to a parent organization. The parent organization has **read** access to all sub-organizations, but no **write** access. This means users within the parent organization have no ability to use wallets or alter any resources in the sub-organization.

For more information on sub-organizations and common use cases for this functionality, follow along in the next section <Icon icon="square-right" iconType="solid" />.
