Account and organization ownership

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Accounts and organizations

Each person who signs up for Rift has their own account. Every account comes with a personal organization that belongs only to that person. Nobody else can join a personal organization.

To work with other people, you create a team organization and invite them. A person can belong to any number of team organizations, for example a contractor who works for several companies.

Your work in Rift belongs to an organization, not to a single person. This includes VMs, tasks, connected git forge accounts, and the repositories that the organization watches.

Who owns a team organization

Team organizations are owned by their administrators (admins). The person who creates a team organization is its first admin. Admins can:

• invite members, remove members, and make other members admins,
• manage the organization's billing, including its monthly plan, and
• cancel the organization's monthly plan.

Our legal responsibility is to an organization's admins. We will not give anyone else control of an organization without permission from a current admin.

When no admin is available

People change jobs, take leave, or become unavailable for other reasons. We recommend that each team organization has more than one admin, so that someone can always manage it.

If no admin can be reached, contact us. We will contact the admins at the email addresses we have on file and ask them to add a new admin. Permission must come from an email address that we have on file for a current admin. If that is not possible, we need a court order to give control of the organization to someone else.

Agents

Agents that you let use your account act as you. They can do anything in an organization that you can do. You are responsible for what they do, as our Terms of Service describe.
