Manage the subscription
When the organization is created your account will be the administrator of that organization so that you can add other users to the organization account and manage their individual access rights.
Every personal Simumatik account can be a member of one or more organizations. By working in an organization the personal account inherits all the features of the organizational subscription. All created systems and components created within an organization is shared between the organization members. The access rights however can be limited by the administrators of the organization.
All members that have the access role manager or administrator can access the administration panel. To see the panel press administration in the menu for the organization.
On the administration page, you can change the current organizational member’s access role and add new or remove members. All users are sorted into groups, which can be managed when adding members or by pressing Transfer.
Access roles
To change the access roles, open the drop-down menu for the user and select a category. These changes are automatically saved. The different categories are explained further down.

Pausing a subscription can be done a maximum of 2 times per key. By pausing the subscription during periods of time when the organization will not be used, it’s possible to extend the expiration date by the same number of days that it has been paused. The subscription will automatically resume after it has been paused for 90 days.
When the subscription is paused, the access to the organization will be “blocked” for all users, like when the subscription has expired.
