The basics
Familiarize yourself with some of the terms that are used by VIP to refer to you, your team, and the projects you host with us.
An organization is a business that is in contract with VIP for enterprise WordPress hosting and analytics. The term “organization” also refers to the individuals who work for that business and who interact with various parts of VIP’s infrastructure. The name of your organization is typically the same as the name of the business that you represent.
An organization can have one or more WordPress or Node.js applications. “Application” collectively refers to a single GitHub repository codebase, the web server environment(s) to which the codebase deploys, and the database and media files associated with those environments.
When a new application is created, a member of VIP will make sure that at least one member of your organization has access to the application’s WordPress installation, VIP Dashboard, and GitHub repository. That team member is usually a primary contact for the organization. They will be given a user role for each account that has the capability to manage user access for all other team members.
