Organisations
Music-industry entities (labels, distributors, PROs, studios, etc.) that exist independently in Aden and link to artist teams — the structural backbone for industry relationships, submissions, contracts, and team management.
What it is
An organisation in Aden is a music-industry entity — a record label, distributor, PRO (performing rights organisation), recording studio, management company, publisher, or similar entity. Organisations exist independently in the platform and are not team workspaces: they don't have their own tracks or albums. Instead, they connect to artist teams to manage those relationships.
Think of an organisation as the other side of the music industry relationship. An artist team says "we are distributed by DistroKid"; DistroKid's Aden organisation sees that team in its roster and can manage submissions, contracts, and communications from there.
Aden ships pre-seeded with roughly 300 well-known industry entities. Any team can also create new ones, which enter a pending state until approved by an Aden admin.
Using it
Link your team to an organisation. From your team workspace, go to your team's organisations section and search for the label, distributor, or PRO you work with. Select it and it appears in your list. You can also create a new organisation if yours isn't in the directory yet — it will be marked as pending until an Aden admin approves it.
Submit a track or album. Once your team is linked to an organisation, you can submit tracks or albums to it for consideration. You set submission metadata (status, priority, notes) and the organisation team can then accept, reject, or request changes.
Manage your organisation (org admins only). If you are the owner or admin of an organisation on Aden, log in and navigate to your org. From there you can:
- Invite teams — search for an existing Aden team and invite them, or send an email invite to someone who then picks one of their own teams.
- Review submissions — see all tracks and albums submitted to your org, assign them to members, and send decisions back to the team.
- Manage members — control who inside your organisation has access and what role they hold (owner, admin, or member).
- Issue invoices and contracts — generate invoices and attach contract documents directly inside Aden.
- Configure entity types — declare what kind of entity your organisation is (label, distributor, PRO, studio, etc.) so teams searching for partners find you correctly.
