# Teams overview

> How organizations, environments, and tenants fit together when you manage your AutoSage account.

Your AutoSage account is built from three nested pieces: an **organization**, its **environments**, and the **tenants** inside them. Understanding how they relate makes it clear where members, billing, API keys, and usage each live — and where to make a change when you need to.

## The account hierarchy

```
Organization                 (your company account: billing, members, roles)
  └── Environment            (dev / staging / production)
        └── Tenant           (credits, quotas, data isolation)
              └── Knowledge bases, agents, chats, and more
```

Each level fully contains the level below it. That nesting is also your isolation boundary: work in one environment or tenant stays cleanly separated from the rest.

## The three levels

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Organization" icon="building">
    Your company or team account. The organization is the home for **billing**, **members**, and their **roles**, and it owns one or more environments. Everything else in AutoSage lives beneath it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Environment" icon="layer-group">
    An isolation context within your organization, such as `dev`, `staging`, or `production`. **API keys are scoped to a single environment**, so a key issued for one environment can never reach data in another. Use separate environments to keep test work away from production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tenant" icon="box">
    A resource owner that holds its own **credit pool** and **quotas**. Tenants are the data-isolation unit — create one tenant per customer or per project so each one's data and usage stay cleanly separated.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## You start ready to go

When you create an organization, AutoSage automatically provisions a **default environment** and a **default tenant** with a starting credit allocation. You can begin building — uploading documents, creating agents, running chats — right away, and add more environments and tenants whenever you're ready.

<Info>
  Because API keys belong to a single environment and each tenant carries its own credits and quotas, this hierarchy is what keeps development data, production data, and per-customer usage separate. See [Tenancy](/developers/concepts/tenancy) for the API-level view.

## Personal vs. business organizations

AutoSage offers two shapes of organization so the account fits how you work:

|              | Personal organization        | Business organization                              |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Best for     | A single person or workspace | A team or company                                  |
| Environments | A single workspace           | Multiple environments (dev / staging / production) |
| Team members | Just you                     | Invite members and assign roles                    |
| Billing      | Individual                   | Organization-wide                                  |

<Tip>
  Start with a personal organization if you're exploring on your own. When you're ready to bring in teammates or separate development from production, a business organization gives you multiple environments and full member management.
