Understanding Navigator's Hierarchy
How organizations, teams, projects, and chats work together
Navigator uses a clear organizational hierarchy to help you structure your work and control access. Think of it like a filing system for your AI-powered workspace.
The Four Levels
1. Organization
Your top-level workspace
An organization represents your company or primary workspace. It's where:
- Billing is managed
- Company-wide settings are configured
- Users are invited and managed
- Global integrations are set up
Key features:
- Single sign-on (SSO) authentication
- Multi-organization support (users can belong to multiple orgs)
- Admin and member roles
- Centralized billing
2. Teams
Groups within your organization
Teams help you organize people and work. Each team can have:
- Multiple members with different roles
- Shared projects and resources
- Team-specific settings
Types of teams:
- Personal teams: Automatically created for each user
- Shared teams: Created for departments, projects, or any grouping
Example teams:
- Engineering Team
- Marketing Team
- Executive Team
- Client Project Teams
3. Projects
Specific work areas within teams
Projects organize related chats and resources. They:
- Group related AI conversations
- Connect specific data sources
- Control access at a granular level
- Can be personal or shared
Use cases:
- Q4 Marketing Campaign
- Product Launch Analysis
- Customer Research
- Personal Notes
4. Chats
Individual AI conversations
Chats are where the magic happens. Each chat:
- Contains a full conversation history
- Can access connected data sources
- Supports file uploads and attachments
- Can be private or shared with collaborators
Permission Inheritance
Permissions flow down the hierarchy:
Organization Admin
↓ Can manage everything
Team Admin
↓ Can manage team and below
Project Member
↓ Can access project chats
Chat Collaborator
→ Can access specific chatBest Practices
