# Organizations

#### 2.1 What is an Organization?

An **Organization** represents a legal entity (registered or unregistered) that wishes to tokenize real-world assets and offer them to investors. Each organization must be approved by platform administrators before it can create and publish projects.

**Key Attributes:**

* Company Name (platform-locked after approval)
* Legal Structure (LLC, Corporation, etc.)
* Registration Number
* Legal Jurisdiction
* Contact Information
* Company Address (platform-locked after approval)
* KYC Status

#### 2.2 Organization Lifecycle

The organization lifecycle consists of the following stages:

```
Application → Review → Approved → Active → (Optional) Change Requests
```

**Stages Explained:**

1. **Application**: A user submits an issuer application through the platform
2. **Review**: Platform admins review the application and supporting documents
3. **Approved**: The application is approved, and an organization is created
4. **Active**: The organization can create and manage projects
5. **Change Requests**: Locked fields (company name, address) can only be changed through formal change requests with supporting documentation

#### 2.3 Creating Organizations

Organizations are **not created directly by users**. Instead, they are created through an approval process:

**Step 1: Submit Issuer Application**

1. Navigate to the issuer sign-up page
2. Complete the issuer application form with:
   * Company name
   * Legal structure
   * Registration number
   * Legal jurisdiction
   * Representative information
   * Company website
   * Project type and asset class

**Step 2: Platform Admin Review**

1. Platform admin reviews the application in the Admin Dashboard
2. Admin verifies company information and legal documentation
3. Admin approves or rejects the application

**Step 3: Organization Creation**

* Upon approval, the system automatically creates an organization
* The organization inherits data from the approved application
* Certain fields (company name, address) are automatically locked for legal compliance

#### 2.4 Managing Organizations

Once created, organizations can be managed by:

* **Platform Admins**: Full access to all organization settings
* **Issuer Admins**: Assigned by platform admins, can manage organization projects and team

**Accessing Organization Management:**

* Issuer Admins: Navigate to Settings → Organization
* Platform Admins: Navigate to Admin → Organizations tab

**Editable Fields:**

* Contact email
* Phone number
* Website URL
* Company description
* Logo
* Legal structure details

**Locked Fields (require change request):**

* Company name
* Company address

#### 2.5 Organization Change Requests

When an organization needs to update locked fields (company name or address), they must submit a formal change request.

**How to Submit a Change Request:**

1. Navigate to **Settings → Organization** (as Issuer Admin)
2. Click the **"Request Change"** button next to a locked field
3. Fill out the change request form:
   * Field to change (Company Name or Company Address)
   * Current value (auto-filled)
   * Requested new value
   * Supporting documentation (required - upload legal documents, certificates, etc.)
4. Submit the request

**Change Request Review Process:**

1. **Submission**: Issuer admin submits request with supporting documentation
2. **Pending Review**: Platform admin is notified
3. **Admin Review**: Platform admin reviews the request and documentation
4. **Decision**: Admin approves or rejects with notes
5. **Implementation**: If approved, the system automatically updates the locked field

**Important Notes:**

* Change requests require legal documentation (corporate resolution, certificate of incorporation, etc.)
* Both company name and address changes require platform admin approval
* All change requests are logged in the audit trail
* Rejected requests include admin notes explaining the reason
