## Organization

## Organization Member

User access relationship at the organization level.

Organization membership can grant organization-level permissions and inherited access to all workspaces owned by that organization.

## Workspace Member

User access relationship at the workspace level.

Workspace membership grants direct access to one workspace and can classify the user's relationship to the owning organization as `Organization Member` or `External Collaborator`.

An `Organization Member` is part of the organization that owns the workspace. They may have access through organization membership, direct workspace membership, or both.

An `External Collaborator` is not part of the owning organization but has direct workspace access. This includes subcontractors, providers, clients, and external reviewers.

Workspace membership can override applicable inherited workspace permissions.

Use `Organization` for the product model unless specifically describing an agency customer.
