Introduction
After registering with Laravel Forge, you will be assigned to an organization. For new registrations, this will be a brand-new organization created just for you; however, if you are invited by another Laravel Forge user, you will be added to the existing organization you were invited to. In Laravel Forge, the organization is the top-level entity that owns all server provider credentials, servers, sites, and other resources. Each organization’s member and billing plan configuration is unique, so each organization may configure its own payment method details and preferred pricing plan.Organization members
As an owner or admin of an organization on the Business plan, you are able to manage organization members via the Members tab in your organization’s settings. Users can be assigned a default role, or you may create a custom role with specific permissions. Organization members will always be able to view resources. To limit access to resources you should add members to teams.Roles
Laravel Forge offers five default roles for organization members:- Owner - Full access to all organization settings, servers, and team members.
- Admin - Full access to the organization, except managing or assigning owner roles.
- Manager - Manages servers and teams but not billing or organization settings.
- Developer - Full access to servers and sites, but can’t create new servers.
- Viewer - View all servers, sites, and sensitive data without making changes.

Every Laravel Forge organization must have an active subscription. To upgrade or downgrade your plan, an admin can navigate to your Organization dashboard and click Settings > Billing. From the billing page, you can view your current plan, change your plan, and update your payment method. For upgrades, you will be billed pro rata for the higher plan immediately. For downgrades, your plan will be changed at the end of your current billing cycle.Downgrading plans will result in the loss of access to some features like teams, database backups and monitoring. Make sure your applications do not depend on these features before downgrading.
