Acclaim is structured around your **organization and accounts**. This structure defines how data is organized, how access is controlled, and how your team operates within the platform. *** ## Visual overview The diagram below shows how your **organization** relates to **users**, multiple **accounts**, and each account's **settings** and **data**, within a **compliance region** for data residency. Organization, users, accounts, settings, data, and compliance region *** ## Organization The organization is the top-level entity. * Represents your company or group * Owns all accounts, users, and configuration * Defines the scope of your environment All activity in Acclaim occurs within an organization. *** ## Organization accounts Organization accounts are used to structure your data and configuration. * Define how workflows, settings, and activity are grouped * Control how users access different parts of the platform * Support separation across entities, programs, or regions Organization accounts **do not hold funds**. They are used for **structure and access**, not balances. *** ## Structuring organization accounts Organization accounts can be configured to match your operating model. Common patterns include: * **Per entity** — separate accounts for different legal entities * **Per program** — isolate activity for specific programs or lines of business * **Per region** — separate operations across jurisdictions * **Per workflow** — organize claims, commissions, or collections This structure helps maintain clarity across operations and reporting. *** ## Treasury accounts Treasury accounts are where funds are held and managed. * Each treasury account holds a balance in a **single currency** * Balances are tracked as total, available, and pending * Transactions record all movement of funds Treasury accounts are separate from organization accounts and are used for **managing money**, not structuring data. *** ## Accounts and users Users are granted access at the organization and account level. * Access can be scoped to specific organization accounts * Permissions define what actions users can perform * This allows teams to operate within defined boundaries See [Users and permissions](/guides/platform/users-permissions) for more details.
