# Organisations

In MINT, users are linked to an organization and can access data and mappings for that organisation. Administrators add organisations within MINT and will ask you to provide the details shown in the form below.

![Adding an organisation](/files/-MAQO60CsVKQ9BZaQPxs)

Each organisation has a primary contact, who has an administrator role for that organisation.

Organisations may be part of a group. In such cases, a record is created for the 'parent' organisation first. Then when the other organisations in the group are created the parent organisation can be selected from the pull-down list.

{% hint style="info" %}
Groups may consist of departments within a university, the smaller museums/institutions which form part of a national institution or ministry, or they may be related bodies such as companies who are contracted for digitisation projects by an organisation. Creating a group of organisations in MINT is a way of allowing users from the 'parent' to see datasets and mappings being worked on for other organisations in their grouping.
