Platform structure

Vitesse structures accounts, users, and activity in a clear and controlled way.

The platform uses three levels:

Organisation – the top-level workspace
Entity – the owner of accounts and activity

Together, these levels define how Vitesse organises your business on the platform.

Every account and user belongs to this structure. This ensures clear ownership, controlled access, and consistent management of activity across your organisation.

The structure reflects how your business operates in practice, not how it is legally defined.

Organisation

An organisation is the top-level workspace in Vitesse.

It defines the boundary for how your business operates on the platform, including its accounts, users, and access model.

An organisation can represent:

A single company
Multiple related companies operating together

You define this structure based on how your business operates in Vitesse.

An organisation does not need to match a legal entity. It reflects how you manage accounts and users in practice.

Entity

An entity is an operational unit within an organisation.

It defines who owns and manages a set of accounts, users, and activity on the platform.

Entities separate different parts of a business, for example:

A business unit or division
A regional operation
A line of business
A trading name

Entities can also grant access to other entities using Service relationships. For more information, see Account access.

An entity does not need to match a legal entity. It represents how you assign responsibility in practice.

What an entity controls

An entity determines:

Ownership – which accounts belong to that part of the business
Access – which users can view and act on those accounts
Responsibility – who manages funding, payments, and activity

Each account belongs to a single entity.

When to use an entity

Create a new entity when:

A different team manages a set of accounts
You want to separate access between groups
You want to track activity independently

Entities reflect how your organisation operates, not how it is legally structured.
