==Definition==The [[Root Company|root organization]] is created when a copy of [[SmartSimple]] is initially activated and the first {{GUA}} [[Global User Administrator|System Administrator]] is associated with this organisationorganization. Since the root organization is the first organization in the hierarchy, and is neither [[internal]] nor [[external]], it will appear at the root of both the internal and external organization hierarchy, representing the [[instance]]. The root organization should not have [[Signup Page|signup pages]] created to it; rather, it should have sub-internal and sub-external entities based on client requirements.
