# Concept: Account

An **account** is the tenant — the workspace everything else lives inside. Every URL in the app starts with the account's **slug** (an opaque identifier, deliberately not derived from the name, so it survives renames and leaks nothing). There are two kinds: a **personal** account, created automatically with every user, and **team** accounts, created on demand — a user can belong to any number of either.

Membership is what grants access: non-members get a 404, not a 403, because to them the account does not exist. Inside, what you may do is your **role** — see the member concept. An account can be **suspended** by a platform operator: it stays readable but every write is refused, whatever your role.
