**Organization** is a feature for teams of several users
who work together on projects and share tasks.

Create an **Organization**, invite your team members, and assign
roles to make the team work better on shared tasks.

## Personal workspace

The account's default state is activated when no **Organization** is selected.

If you do not select an **Organization**, the system links all new resources directly
to your personal account, that inhibits resource sharing with others.

When **Personal workspace** is selected, it will be marked with a tick in the menu.

### Transfer tasks and projects between organizations

You can move high-level resources (projects and individual tasks) between organizations and the personal workspace.

To transfer a resource:

1. Open the **Actions** menu of the corresponding task or project.
2. In the **Actions** menu, select **Organization** (only visible if the resource can be transferred).
3. Choose the destination workspace in the selector.
4. A dialog will open. Confirm the transfer.
5. If the resource has attached to a cloud storage, choose how CVAT should handle it:
   - The current cloud storages will be detached anyway as they are not available in another workspace.
   - **Move & Detach**: After transferring, you can set a new cloud storage manually
   (only applicable for data source cloud storage in a task).
   Source and target cloud storages cannot be setup this way.
   - **Move & Auto Match**: During the transfer, CVAT will try finding a
   cloud storage, matching similar parameters in the target workspace.
   This option is only available if the resource has source or target cloud storage configured.
