Fundamental Entities in HortiView¶

HortiView aims to mimic physical and logical relationships between entities that exist in a typical farm. The root is comprised of an Organization which represents the legal entity HortiView is used for. This is true for Farm Organizations and Vendor Organizations.

Organizations¶

Entity Organization¶

The Organization is a root aggregate that references other commonly used object such as LegalAddress, PrimaryContact and so on. Users can become members of HortiView in two ways: either by creating an account themselves, or by being invited to join an existing organization.

When users register to create an account on the platform, they are prompted to create a new FarmOrganization or VendorOrganization depending on the profile the user has selected. In this scenario, the user will become the OrganizationAdmin of that organization. This role has, as the name suggests, all rights to manage the organization and cannot be removed, unless another organization member is promoted to organization admin.

If users have been invited then they will be added to the respective organization as an OrganizationMember. Invitees will still have to register for an account on HortiView but they will not be prompted to create an organization. By default, newly invited members will be assigned the least privileged role "Organization Member". Organization admins can change user roles and any time.
