Orgs & Projects

We use a standard cloud data model that associates Projects within Organizations. All organizations use our standard quota limits, including support for collaborators, projects, and shared resources. When you finish signing up, Datum creates your first organization and your first project for you. You can rename them, or create more, at any time.

Signing up creates your first organization and project

Personal organizations have been deprecated as of July 14, 2026. All existing organizations have been automatically upgraded to standard quota limits — no action required.

Payment method

A payment method is required for every active organization to improve the security and stability of our platform. Datum is currently free during public beta, and your account won’t accrue any charges without prior notice.

Confirming your contact details

As part of adding your payment method, we’ll ask you to confirm:
  • Your legal name.
  • Any company name you want associated with an organization.

Team management

To collaborate with team members, you’ll need to create or join an Organization. Organizations support the following coarse-grained roles:
  • Owners - Full control over the organization and all resources.
  • Editors - Control over all resources in an organization, except for team members.
  • Viewers - Read-only access to all resources in an organization.
For more information, see Team management.

Quotas

Datum is in active development and currently only offers a free tier with reasonable limits on resources. Resource limits (e.g. quotas) can be found under the setting areas for Organizations and Projects. For more information, see Usage.

Support

If you run into a problem, including a quota that limits your work, email support@datum.net, or use the live chat at the top of the portal. Discord is also an option!
