## One company, one or more workspaces

A company is your organization in Shuffl. It holds your company members, administrators, sign-in settings and billing. Most companies need one workspace.

A workspace is where people use Shuffl together. Each has its own People, Knowledge, HR requests, Mello chats, programs, Pulse, praise, communities and celebrations. Add another when a subsidiary, region or team needs to keep that work separate.

Your company shares verified email domains, single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, Slack connections, billing and the product analytics switch. Each workspace keeps its own name, logo, settings, API keys and activity log. Content does not move between workspaces when someone switches.

## Open Company settings

Company settings are the Company group at the bottom of Settings, under your own settings and the workspace’s. Company owners and administrators can also open them from the account menu. General changes the company name and logo and turns product analytics on or off for every workspace. Members manages company roles and removal. Everyone else in the company sees its Workspaces there.

## Add a workspace and choose the default

1. Open Company settings → Workspaces and choose New workspace. Enter a name, then follow its setup checklist. New workspace is also the last item in the workspace picker for company owners and administrators.

2. On the Workspaces page, open a workspace’s actions menu and choose Rename to change its name, or Set as default on the workspace that new domain and single sign-on members should enter.

3. Changing the default affects future joins. It does not move people or their records. Invitations still name a workspace, and Slack keeps its own mapping.

4. Delete workspace stops it immediately. Type its name to confirm. You can restore it for 30 days; after that, Shuffl permanently erases its People, Knowledge, programs and history. Company billing and configuration stay in place.

<a id="switch"></a>
## Switch workspaces or companies

The workspace picker lists the workspaces you can use in the current company. Find it in your account menu on the employee app, or at the top of Manage. On a phone, tap your picture at the top right, then the workspace row.

Open your account menu to choose a company. In Manage, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar; on a phone, tap your picture at the top right, then the company row. Choosing a company opens the last workspace you used there. If none is available to you, it opens that company’s workspace list.

## Create another company

To start a separate organization, open your account menu and choose New company. Company owners and administrators see it there. Enter the company name, then choose Create company. Shuffl creates the company and its first workspace with that name and opens its setup checklist.

Use New workspace in the workspace picker to add a workspace to your current company instead. New company keeps members, settings and content separate from your existing companies.

<a id="delete-company"></a>
## Delete or restore a company

A company owner can open Company settings → General and choose Delete company. Review the affected workspaces and type the company name to confirm. The company and all its workspaces stop immediately. Your personal account and other companies stay in place.

Choose the deleted company from your account menu to see its recovery deadline. An owner can choose Restore company for 30 days. Workspaces return paused so you can review their programs before resuming; workspaces deleted earlier stay deleted.

When the recovery period ends, Shuffl permanently erases the company, its workspaces, members, settings and content. A paid subscription and any pending billing actions must finish cancellation before company deletion is available.

<a id="roles"></a>
## Who can manage what

A company owner or administrator can manage Company settings and every workspace in that company. Only owners can change company roles, transfer ownership or delete a company and all its workspaces. A company must always have at least one owner.

A workspace administrator manages their own workspace. That role does not grant Company settings or access to another workspace. Ordinary company members can use only the workspaces they have joined.

Company settings → Members lists these company roles. Use People inside a workspace to manage its employee access and workspace roles.

<a id="joining"></a>
## How people join

An invitation joins the company and the workspace named in the invitation. An Administrator invitation grants a workspace role, not a company role.

A verified email domain joins people to the company and its default workspace. Single sign-on also uses the default workspace, where the person must already be listed with their work email and enabled access.

New SCIM provisioning goes to the default workspace under the company’s access policy. Changing the default leaves existing provisioning assignments in place.

Slack sign-in uses the Shuffl workspace mapped to that Slack connection. It may be different from the default. Employee access rules still apply.

## Move or remove people

To give someone access to another workspace, invite them from that workspace’s People page. Review their employee access there, then remove or leave the old workspace if it is no longer needed. Their Knowledge, chats and HR history stay with the original workspace.

Leaving a workspace keeps company membership. Someone who leaves their last workspace sees the company’s workspace list and can ask for an invitation.

Removing a member in Company settings removes their access to the company and all its workspaces. Administrators can remove ordinary members; only owners can remove administrators or other owners. Transfer ownership or add another owner before the last owner leaves.

## Connect the right Slack workspace

In Company settings → Slack, the Slack workspaces table lists each Shuffl workspace and its connection state. Choose Manage on a row, then connect the Slack workspace that should use it.

Connect individual Slack workspaces or one Enterprise Grid organization. In Company settings → Slack, map granted Slack workspaces together to share people and settings, or separately for different regions or subsidiaries.
