Organisations

Welcome to the organisational backbone of ikigize. Organisations are the institutional entities that provide structure, governance, and community for learning within our platform. They represent the formal frameworks where structured learning, professional development, and institutional knowledge management come together.

Overview

Organisations serve as the highest level of organisational structure in the ikigize platform. They represent companies, educational institutions, non-profits, and other formal organisations that use the platform for learning, training, and knowledge management. Organisations provide the administrative framework for managing users, content, and learning programs within a structured institutional context.

Institutional Learning Framework

Organisations create the structured environment where formal learning programs, professional development, and institutional knowledge management thrive. They provide the governance, access control, and administrative framework that enables scalable learning at the organisational level.

Why Organisations Matter in Learning

At ikigize, we recognize that most meaningful learning happens within organisational structures—whether that's a company training program, a university course, or a professional association's continuing education.

Structured Learning Programs: Organisations provide the framework for comprehensive learning programs that align with institutional goals and objectives. They enable the creation of structured curricula, assessment systems, and progress tracking that individual learning often lacks.

Community and Collaboration: Organisations create learning communities where members can collaborate, share knowledge, and support each other's development. This community aspect is crucial for sustained learning and professional growth.

Quality and Standards: Organisations maintain learning standards and quality assurance processes that ensure consistent, high-quality educational experiences across all members.

Scalable Administration: Organisations provide the administrative tools and processes needed to manage learning at scale, from user onboarding to progress tracking to certification management.

Organizational Flexibility

Organisations can be as simple as a small team or as complex as a multinational corporation. The platform scales to support any organisational structure while maintaining the governance and administrative features that make institutional learning effective.

Each organisation type brings unique learning objectives and organisational structures to the platform. The ikigize system is designed to accommodate this diversity while providing the common features that all organisations need for effective learning management.

How Organisations Work: Access and Governance

Organisations use a flexible access control system based on groups and permissions. Each organisation comes with a base set of default groups that can be customized to match the organisation's specific needs.

Default Groups

Every organisation starts with four default groups:

Superadmins: Full control over organisation settings, member management, and all content
Admins: Can manage organisation content, members, and learning programs
Members: Can access organisation content and participate in learning activities
Guests: Limited access for external collaborators or temporary participants

These default permissions can be modified to match your organisation's specific requirements.

Group-Based Access Control

Organisations can create additional specialised groups and configure their permissions as needed. This includes department-based access, project-specific permissions, and custom learning cohorts.

Flexible Access Control

Organisations can create complex access control structures that match their actual organisational hierarchy. Learn more about configuring access control in our Roles & Permissions and Groups documentation.
