Org-Only Invites
When you accept an org invitation as a brand new user, you skip personal-account setup and land directly inside the organization. Here is how it works.
What This Is
If you sign up for Vibey by accepting an organization invitation link (instead of registering yourself), your account is created in org-only mode.
This means:
- You skip personal-account onboarding
- You do not have a Personal Brain by default (you read from the org's Company Brain)
- The Personal Account UI is hidden
- You land directly on Home with the org context already loaded
- Your runtime machine provisions inside the org from day one
You still get a real user account; it is just scoped to operate inside the org rather than dual-purpose for personal work.
When Does Org-Only Mode Apply
| Scenario | Account mode |
|---|---|
| You signed up directly at app.vibey.im/register | Personal account (with optional org membership later) |
| You accepted an org invite link as a brand-new user | Org-only |
| You already had a personal account and accepted an org invite | Personal account (your existing personal data stays) |
The profiles.account_mode field on your user record stores this. Owners and admins can see who is org-only.
What You See
A typical org-only user experience:
Click the invite link
The link goes to /invite/[token]. The page detects you have no Vibey account yet.
Sign up
Create your credentials (email + password, or OAuth). The signup creates your profiles row with account_mode = 'org_only'.
Accept the invitation
A single endpoint creates the membership in the org, accepts the invite, and triggers your machine provisioning.
Wait at /setting-up
A loading page polls the API until your machine is ready (usually a few seconds to a minute).
Land on Home
Once ready, you redirect to /home with the org context already loaded.
What Is Hidden
In org-only mode, the following Personal Account UI is hidden:
- The "Personal Account" item in the avatar dropdown
- The Personal Account section in Account Settings
- Personal billing controls (your billing is the org's)
- The Personal Space picker on the Brain scope (you start with the org's brains)
What You Can Still Do
You can still:
- Switch your active org if you have multiple memberships
- Manage your profile (name, avatar, password)
- Configure your communication preferences (digest channel, voice settings)
- Open conversations with org agents
- Create and use org Spaces
Org-Only Plus Personal Later
If an org-only user later wants a personal account (for personal work outside any org), they can upgrade. The account_mode flips and Personal Account UI becomes visible. The flow is in Account Settings.
Re-Inviting Existing Users
When you invite someone who already has a Vibey account (via the org invite flow), they do not become org-only. They join your org as an additional membership and keep their existing personal data.
The org-only mode is reserved for brand-new users who arrived via an org link.
Why This Exists
Before org-only mode, every new user went through personal onboarding even if they were invited to an org by an admin. They got a Personal Brain they did not want, a Personal Space they did not need, and a Personal Account billing page that was irrelevant.
Org-only mode removes the friction. Org-invited users land where they actually need to be: inside the org, with the org's context.
For Owners and Admins
If you are inviting teammates to your org and you want them in org-only mode by default:
- Use the org invite flow from Team Settings → Members → Invite
- The invite link automatically creates an org-only account for brand-new users
- No additional steps required
To revoke a pending invite, use the same Members page. Re-invites are deduplicated by normalized email; only one pending invite per email at a time.
