How Canva is organized: People and projects


Canva Enterprise helps large organizations manage users and content at scale. Think of your workspace in two parts: People (who can access what) and Projects (how work is stored).

People: Understanding the hierarchy

Canva uses a layered structure to manage security and collaboration.

  • Organization: The highest level. It houses all teams, global security settings (like SSO), and centralized billing.
  • Teams: Workspaces for specific departments or regions. Team Admins manage members and content within their own team.
  • Groups: Sets of people within a team organized by function (e.g., "Marketing Reviewers"). Use groups to share folders with many people at once.

Roles and permissions

Your role determines what you can see and do in the workspace. Check the Roles and permissions article to learn more.

Projects: How work is stored

  • Brand Kits: Central hubs for approved logos, fonts, and colors.
  • Content Hubs: Libraries of reusable Brand Templates that help teams stay on-brand.
  • Collaboration Tools: Features like Version History and Approvals that streamline feedback and keep work moving.
