Organization Settings & Inheritance

Organization settings cascade down to child teams automatically. Lower-level settings override higher ones.

How to Tell You're in an Organization

Building icon appears next to the organization name in the team selector. Settings pages show: "You are currently configuring settings for the entire [Org Name] organization, which may affect up to [X] descendant teams."

The Three Inheritance Icons

  • Globe - Inheriting INKY's default global policy

  • Skyscraper - Overriding global policy, applies to all child teams

  • People - Local team override, applies only to this team

Override Mechanics

From Organization Level: Changes apply to all child teams. INKY shows a warning popup before saving organization-wide settings.

From Team Level: Any team can override inherited settings. Team-level changes only affect that specific team and don't flow up or sideways.

Priority: Team settings > Organization settings > Global settings

Organization Profiles

Each organization starts with a base template inherited from its parent organization (or INKY Global if it's a root org). Configure once at the org level; teams inherit automatically unless overridden.
