What Dossier does, signing up and creating your organization.

Link to this answerWhat is the usual workflow?

Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen to receive the account-recovery email.

No. Signing in and creating an organization are separate actions.
Link to this answerWhat is an organization?
Your team's space for membership, permissions, projects, plan and usage.

Link to this answerDoes switching organizations join me to one?
No. You can switch only to an organization you are authorized to access.

Yes. Joining first does not trap you in that organization.

Use Create organization in the account menu or organization-entry screen.

No. You become owner of the new organization; your existing memberships remain separate.

No. Those memberships are independent.
