Companies

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Marketplace appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Store, instead.

On the AppDirect platform, user and company accounts are tightly associated and have a number of dependencies:

• Each registered user must be a member of least one company—user accounts cannot exist without a company association.
• Users can be members of multiple companies.
• Each company must have at least one registered user, though most companies have multiple users.
• A company can exist only as long as it has at least one associated user account.

Because of these dependencies, the workflow to create a company also requires the creation of its first associated user account. By default, this first user is assigned the Company Administrator role. Typically, Company Administrators then invite their coworkers to join their company and create individual user accounts.

In general, Marketplace Managers manage companies from the Companies page at Manage > Marketplace > Dashboard > Home | Companies. The Companies page includes a table that displays a summary of each company's details sorted by creation date (most recent first by default). You can click any row in the table to display the corresponding company's details page.

The remaining topics in this section describe the management functions you can perform on this page and other pages linked from it.
