Chapter 5. Quay.io organizations overview


In = Quay.io an organization is a grouping of users, repositories, and teams. It provides a means to organize and manage access control and permissions within the registry. With organizations, administrators can assign roles and permissions to users and teams. Other useful information about organizations includes the following:

  • You cannot have an organization embedded within another organization. To subdivide an organization, you use teams.
  • Organizations cannot contain users directly. You must first add a team, and then add one or more users to each team.

    Note

    Individual users can be added to specific repositories inside of an organization. Consequently, those users are not members of any team on the Repository Settings page. The Collaborators View on the Teams and Memberships page shows users who have direct access to specific repositories within the organization without needing to be part of that organization specifically.

  • Teams can be set up in organizations as just members who use the repositories and associated images, or as administrators with special privileges for managing the Organization.

Users can create their own organization to share repositories of container images. This can be done through the Quay.io UI.
