The Colony

The Colony is the team and organization management area, available at /colony in the Zaru client. It is where you manage members, configure identity federation, and handle your subscription.

Members

The Members tab shows everyone in your organization.

Inviting Members

Click Invite Member and enter the recipient's email address. The invitation link is bound to that email address — only the same email can redeem it. When the invitee authenticates and accepts, they become an active member of your team, their seat is added to your subscription automatically, and their paid-tier access is covered by the team subscription for as long as they remain a member.

You can cancel a pending invitation at any time from the member list; cancelled invitations cannot be redeemed even if the email was already delivered. You can also resend a pending invitation if the original email was missed.

Colonies are available on Business and Enterprise tiers. Free and Pro accounts cannot create or be the owner of a colony. Business colonies include 5 seats, Enterprise colonies include 10 seats. Additional seats can be purchased.

Removing Members

Click the three-dot menu next to a member and select Remove. Removing a member revokes their access to all shared agents, workflows, and volumes within the organization, removes their seat from your subscription on the next invoice, and returns their tier assignment to whatever their personal account entitles them to (Free if they do not have a personal subscription). Removal is immediate — the member loses access as soon as the action completes.

Updating Roles

Each member has a role that determines their permissions within the organization:

• Owner — full administrative control, including billing and member management
• Admin — manage agents, workflows, volumes, and members (cannot manage billing)
• Member — create and execute agents and workflows, manage own resources

Click a member's role badge to change it. Only Owners and Admins can modify roles.

SAML SSO

Enterprise tier organizations can configure SAML Single Sign-On for centralized authentication.

From the SSO tab, provide your identity provider's metadata URL or upload the metadata XML. Once configured, all members authenticate through your corporate identity provider instead of individual credentials.

SAML SSO is available exclusively on the Enterprise tier.

Subscription and Billing

The Billing tab shows your current plan, usage against tier quotas, and payment details.

Viewing Your Plan

The billing overview displays:

• Current tier (Free, Pro, Business, or Enterprise)
• Quota usage — concurrent agents, total agent count, storage consumed, and seats used
• Billing period and next renewal date

Upgrading

Click Upgrade or visit the /pricing page to compare tiers and select a new plan. The upgrade flow redirects to Stripe's hosted checkout for secure payment processing. Your tier updates automatically once payment succeeds.

Managing Billing

Click Manage Billing to open the Stripe Customer Portal, where you can update payment methods, download invoices, and change between monthly and annual billing.

Per-Seat Pricing

Business and Enterprise tiers use per-seat pricing for any seats beyond the included count. Each active member in your colony counts as one seat. Seats increment automatically the moment an invitee accepts their invitation, and decrement automatically when a member is removed or leaves. Every seat change is prorated on your next invoice through Stripe.

While a member is active in your colony, the team subscription covers their tier everywhere they operate — not only when they're working inside the colony's workspace. Their personal rate limits, tool access, and feature gates all reflect the colony's tier. When they leave, coverage ends and they revert to their personal subscription tier (Free if they don't have one).

If a member belongs to multiple colonies, their effective tier is the highest of their personal subscription tier and any active colony they're a member of. Suspended colonies do not count.
