Organisations lists every organisation on the DALP Instance, whichever network is selected at the top of the page, and is where a platform administrator archives or restores one. An organisation groups membership, settings and issued assets. Each row's “Assets” column counts the tokens of that organisation's default system only: the tokens it issued and the external tokens registered into it, less the external tokens it dismissed. That is the same set the Console's asset classes count for the organisation.
The name in each row opens the organisation's own page. That page shows its owners and its archive history, and it holds the controls to archive or restore the organisation. The platform has no delete action for an organisation.
To manage settings inside an organisation you run, use “Organisation settings”. A platform administrator can also act inside any organisation by impersonating one of its members from Platform users. This page has no create action. To create an organisation, open the “Organisation” submenu of the account menu at the top right and select Create organisation: that opens the setup wizard, the one way to create an organisation in the Console. The submenu offers it only on a multi-tenant deployment.
A table with columns “Name”, “Status”, “Members”, “Assets”, “Created” and “Archived on”, with each organisation's slug under its name.
Steps
Find an organisation
Open “Platform admin”, then Organisations. Every organisation on the platform appears in the table, “Active” and “Archived”. The “Owners” column is hidden by default. Turn it on from the column picker. The name cell also shows the slug.
The Search organisations… field matches both the name and the slug derived from it, so the name an organisation had at creation still finds it after a rename. Only the “Name”, “Created” and “Archived on” columns sort. The “Status” filter limits the table to “Active” or “Archived” organisations.
Open an organisation
Select the name of a row. The page shows the organisation's “Slug”, “Owners”, “Members”, “Assets” and “Created” date, with an “Active” or “Archived” badge beside its name. An owners panel lists each owner's name and email. The Archive history table lists every archive and restore, newest first, with the “Event”, “When”, “By” and “Reason” when one was given. An organisation that was never archived shows “No archives or restores yet”.
An archived organisation also shows a notice at the top of the page: “Archived on” the date and time, “by” the person, and the reason. The notice has its own Restore organisation button.
Archive an organisation
Open “Actions”, then select Archive organisation. A confirmation opens. It states how many members lose access, and that the organisation's custody contexts and the participants only it drives are archived with it. It also says what happens to members who belong to no other organisation:
- On a platform where members may create an organisation, those members are asked to create one at their next sign-in.
- Otherwise, those members cannot use the Console until you restore the organisation.
Enter a “Reason (optional)” of up to 500 characters. The platform stores it with the time and your name. Select Archive organisation to confirm, or “Keep active” to close the confirmation.
The archive takes effect as soon as you confirm, with no second approver. It changes only the platform's records: no transaction is sent, so the organisation's contracts and every holder's tokens stay on-chain as they were. The change also writes an Audit trail entry. The entry belongs to no organisation, so no organisation's Audit trail lists it, and a platform administrator reads it through the platform-wide query of the audit trail. A restore works the same way.
When the organisation is the one you are working in, the confirmation says that you lose access to it as well. After the archive succeeds, the Console moves you on as it does for any account without an active organisation.
Restore an organisation
Open “Actions”, then select Restore organisation, or select “Restore organisation” in the notice on the organisation's page. The confirmation states how many members can switch to the organisation again, and that the participants whose custody context sits in it come back with it. The archive record stays in the history.
If another active organisation uses the same name, the confirmation also shows a warning. It gives the name the restore sets, which is the old name followed by a counter, such as “Acme (2)”. The restored organisation keeps that name until its owner changes it. Owners change it in the Console under “Organisation settings”, on “General”, in the Profile section.
Enter a “Reason (optional)”. It follows the same rules as an archive reason. Select Restore organisation to confirm, or “Keep archived” to close the confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Organisations is missing from the sidebar
Your account's platform role is not “Administrator”. Owning an organisation does not give that role. A platform administrator changes it under “Platform admin”, Platform users.
There is no button to create an organisation
This page has no create action. Open the account menu at the top right, point at “Organisation” and select Create organisation. That opens the setup wizard, where you name the organisation and choose its network. A single-tenant deployment does not offer “Create organisation” and refuses a second organisation.
An organisation was created by mistake
The platform does not delete organisations. Open the organisation from this table and archive it: see Archive an organisation. The records stay, and a restore brings the organisation back.
The confirmation says someone else changed the organisation first
Another platform administrator archived or restored the organisation before you confirmed. The platform did not apply your change, and the page now shows the current state. Read the history, then act again if you still need to.
The organisation's page says Not available or Not found
Not available means your account is not a platform administrator. Not found means the platform has no organisation with that identifier, for example because the link was copied wrongly.
The setup wizard rejects the name
Another active organisation already uses the name. The first step of the setup wizard shows “Another organisation already uses this name. Choose a different name.” on the name field. The check compares the names without case and without spaces at either end, so “Acme Corp” and “ acme corp ” are the same name. Choose a name that differs in more than case and outer spaces. An archived organisation does not hold its name, so its name is free to use.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the organisation after I create it?
The account that completes the setup wizard becomes that organisation's owner automatically: organisation creation always assigns ownership to its creator, and the wizard has no field to name a different owner. If someone else needs to run the organisation day to day, add and manage them from Organisation participants once you're inside it, not from this page.
Can I delete an organisation?
No. The platform has no delete action for an organisation. Archive it, and its records stay. An archived organisation stays in this table with an Archived status, and a restore returns it to use.
What happens to the members when I archive an organisation?
Members cannot switch to the organisation, join it, or accept an invitation to it. Every session that had it as its active organisation loses it at once. The organisation's custody contexts and the participants only it drives are archived with it. Members keep access to any other organisation they belong to.
A member whose organisations are all archived, and who has no pending invitation, sees “Your organisation is archived” at their next sign-in. The screen says that a platform administrator archived the organisation and can restore it. On a platform where the member may create an organisation, it offers Create an organisation. Otherwise it offers “Sign out” only. After a restore, the member signs in again to return to the organisation.
Can I see who archived an organisation, and why?
Yes. The organisation's page lists every archive and restore with the time, the person, and the reason. A restore does not remove the archive entry. If the person who made a change no longer has an account, the history shows “Deleted user”.
Does a restore need a reason?
No. A reason is optional for both an archive and a restore. When you enter one, the history stores it on that entry.
Can a new organisation use the name of an archived one?
Yes. Only active organisations hold a name. You can create an organisation with the name of an archived one. The archived organisation keeps its name in the table and in its page.
What happens to the name when I restore an organisation?
The name stays the same unless another active organisation uses it. In that case the restore renames the restored organisation to its name followed by a counter: “Acme (2)”, then “Acme (3)” if that name is taken as well. A name that already ends in a counter loses it first, so the restore gives the first free counter, starting at 2. The platform shortens the name when it must, so the result stays within 32 characters. The restore confirmation shows the new name before you confirm, and the history keeps the old name on the restored row. The owners of the organisation can change the name afterwards under “Organisation settings”, on “General”, in the Profile section.
Why did an organisation get a counter in its name after the upgrade to DALP 3.2?
Before DALP 3.2, two active organisations could end up with the same name. The upgrade gives each of them its own name. The oldest organisation keeps the name, and each later one gets the name followed by a counter, the same way a restore renames: “Acme (2)”, then “Acme (3)”. Names are compared without case and without spaces at either end. Archived organisations keep their names, and no slug changes. The history does not record these renames. The database migration log of the upgrade lists each one, with the organisation's ID, its old name and its new name. The owners of the organisation can choose another name under “Organisation settings”, on “General”, in the Profile section.
How can I tell whether a listed organisation has finished its onboarding?
The table has no onboarding-status column. A zero asset count does not prove that setup is incomplete: the organisation may have no issued assets or may hold assets on a system other than its default one. Select the organisation and check its setup or Dashboard state directly.
Can I rename an organisation after creating it?
Yes. An owner renames it under “Organisation settings”, on General. A member who is not an owner does not see “General”: opening it shows “Not available”, so a member cannot fix a typo in the name. Renaming changes the display name only. The slug, the organisation's URL namespace, stays fixed.
