tl;dr // AppSheet is excited to share that AppSheet Organizations are available upon request to all eligible customers - now including organization-level policies and support for non-Google authenticated users
What is an AppSheet Organization?
The standard AppSheet team structure has notable limitations: Team admins cannot create new or assign user roles without AppSheet’s assistance, and admins have no roll-up view of all teams and users within an account.
AppSheet Organizations add a hierarchical parent above all teams within an eligible customer’s AppSheet account. When enabled, an Organization will contain all group-based, Workspace domain-based and non-Workspace domain-based teams associated with a customer’s verified Workspace organization.
Organization policies allow Organization Admins to set policies that apply to all teams within their Organization.
Together, these features empower eligible customers to manage members and policies across ALL teams in their account from a single pane of glass. They:
- Align the AppSheet account management experience with the Workspace standard
- Empower admins with self-serve tools to make changes that formerly required manual Support team intervention
- Eliminate single points of failure: Organizations can have multiple Organization Admins instead of just a single team root
- Enable true enterprise-grade oversight: Org admins can create and manage organization-level policies that apply to all teams AND manage individual team policies
What does an AppSheet Organization allow me to do?
Once a Workspace customer with an AppSheet Enterprise account has enabled the Organization feature and assigned their initial organization admin, they can:
- Get a robust view of their AppSheet account: Org admins can view team membership and policies of any group- and Workspace org-based teams in their organization
- Create new teams with distinct admins, users and policies as needed
- Independently assign or remove team, root, or organization administrator roles of any user
- Create and manage organization-level policies that apply to all teams AND manage individual team policies, enabling true central oversight that enterprise customers need and expect
What is changing?
For customers that already have an AppSheet organization today, you may see a new domain-based team with users from your domains that authenticate to AppSheet using a non-Google identity provider. Please keep in mind that if you have multiple secondary domains, you may see more than one additional team.
For new and existing customers with AppSheet Organizations, any user from your verified primary or secondary domains that does not authenticate through Google will be shown in your domain-based teams alongside any group-based teams that have been created.
These users will be subject to the same policies and team settings that apply to your users that authenticate through Google.
What’s next?
We’ve got a few notable additions to the Organizations feature set already lined up. These include:
- Organizations as the new standard: In the near future, we’ll start defaulting all new Workspace customers who buy AppSheet Enterprise to the Organization model
- Allow existing AppSheet Enterprise customers to turn on AppSheet Organizations, self-serve, without needing to contact support or their sales representative
- Improved user management: Allow Org admins to view user detail page (including apps owned) in a new admin management UI
How do I get started?
First, confirm that you are eligible for an AppSheet Organization. There are three primary requirements:
✅ Must have purchased AppSheet Enterprise Standard or AppSheet Enterprise Plus
✅ Must have a Workspace domain verified organization
✅ Must provide a Workspace admin to be the first AppSheet Org admin
Second, contact your Workspace sales representative requesting an AppSheet Organization. They will need your domain, the email address of the first org admin, and a user-facing name for your new organization. Please ensure this admin has logged into AppSheet at least once.
