Companies are the main organizational unit that you can define. They contain the following:

- Company teams that define company-wide access privileges. 
- Company projects, which can represent individual plants that a company operates.

# Company

The *Company *tab includes the Settings, Company Teams, Team Members, and Remove Company sections.

## Settings

Modify the company name, and add or modify the company description.

Make sure you have added at least one company. Members of the `OWNER` Team have permission for all features and options. 

## Team Members

 Add and remove members for a selected company team added in the *Company Teams* section.

When adding a new company team member user, the new user will be in one of two states:

- `PENDING`: The user has not responded to the invitation email.
- `ONBOARD`: The user has responded to the invitation email. When the user confirms the invitation, they are directed to an open instance of the company in a new tab on their browser.

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**: The invitation email will not be sent to the new user if SMTP is disabled, see [Email](docId\:L2yv7i3mkj2HVMA2bLbXu) to enable.

## Remove Company

Remove the selected company. Before you can remove a company, you must remove all the associated projects. Removing a company cannot be undone.

Prior to removal, all projects within a company must be deleted first (see [Remove Project](docId\:mgh8i6bP3tGaSuRSUlaA2) for details) to remove a project. This operation will delete all related resources and they cannot be restored. After deleting a company, you cannot reuse the company name. 

# Projects

The Projects tab includes the Project List and Project Teams sections.

## Project List

Add, modify and remove a project associated with the selected company.
