Concepts Overview

Flipswitch organizes feature flags in a hierarchy:

Organization
├── Project (e.g., "Web App")
│   ├── Environment: Development
│   │   └── Flag rules + API keys
│   ├── Environment: Staging
│   │   └── Flag rules + API keys
│   └── Environment: Production
│       └── Flag rules + API keys
├── Project (e.g., "Mobile App")
│   └── ...
└── Segments (reusable across projects)

Key Concepts

Organizations

The top-level container. An organization has:

• Members - Users who can access projects
• Groups - Collections of users with shared permissions
• Projects - Containers for flags

Projects

A project typically represents an application or service. Each project contains:

• Flags - Feature flags with their definitions
• Environments - Isolated configurations (dev, staging, prod)
• Segments - Reusable targeting groups

Environments

Environments let you configure flags differently for each deployment stage:

Each environment has its own:

• Flag states (enabled/disabled)
• Targeting rules
• API keys

Flags are defined at the project level, but their rules and states are configured per environment.
