Organization

Introduction

An Organization is an entity that operates on the Network in some form. Through their Certificate Authorities, Organizations are able to issue identities to their members, and any entity invoking any type of transaction on the network must be associated with an Organization's membership to source the transaction and determine whether it is allowed to go through.

Via membership to a Consortium and its deriving Channel(s), Organizations can transact on a Channel’s ledger through their dedicated endpoints: Peers.
