Organizations & Libraries

Raster organizes everything into two layers: organizations and libraries. Understanding how they relate is the foundation for inviting teammates, structuring your images, and managing billing.

Libraries

A library is a collection of images. Each library is fully isolated from every other one — it has its own images, its own tags, and its own collaborators. You can create as many libraries as your plan allows, and every library belongs to exactly one organization.

Libraries are the right unit for separating work: one per brand, per client, per project, or per campaign.

Create a library

Before you start, make sure you are in the organization where the library should live. Then use whichever method you prefer — all three do the same thing.

Add people to a library

People without a Raster account can be added too: they receive an invite and join the library when they sign up.

To add someone, open Library Settings (the cog icon next to the library name), enter their email, and choose a role:

Organizations

An organization represents a team or company — though it can also be a single, personal account. Organizations group libraries together and add a layer of security and administration on top.

Organization administrators can:

• See every library in the organization.
• Manage organization-wide settings such as URL, name, and avatar.
• Manage billing.

You can create as many organizations as you like. Billing is handled at the organization level, so each organization has its own plan and invoices.

How they fit together

• An organization contains one or more libraries.
• A library contains images, tags, and members.
• Roles are assigned per library, so someone can be an Editor in one library and a Viewer in another.
• Billing is per organization.
