The Mistral AI platform uses a two-tiered structure to help you organize your projects and manage access: Organizations and Workspaces.
Understanding the difference
Organization
An Organization is the top-level entity that represents your company or primary account with Mistral AI.
Settings configured at the Organization level (such as billing, domain verification, general user management, etc.) apply across all Workspaces within that Organization.
📌 Think of it as the umbrella under which all your activities and resources are grouped.
Workspaces
Workspaces are distinct, isolated environments created within an Organization.
They offer more granular control over specific projects, teams, or use cases. Each Workspace can have its own set of API keys, member access (distinct from overall organization membership), and Usage scoped to it.
This separation allows for better organization, cost tracking per project, and tailored environments for different needs (e.g., development, production, specific team projects).
📌 In essence, an Organization is your main account, while Workspaces are sub-environments within that account, each providing a dedicated area for focused work.
