LimitLimits: The upper allowed amount of storage (in GB), or egress (in GB/Month) or projectsrestriction on data, egress, or other process, count etct.
For example, an Organization may have a limit on storage, egress, certified users, and/or other limits we may define in the future.
Organization: An object to encapsulate the collection of users, project, teams and storage. An Organization is defined by a Plan and enforces the Plan’s Limits.
Plan (Managed Plan, plans): A plan is the construct to map accounting and limits to an Organization. All users of Synapse can create and access get a (free) Basic plan (and associated Organization). Users who wish to purchase a paid plan (Self-Managed or DCC) will need to contact Sage to create the Organization associated with the Plan. The Plan accounts for the limits and length of the agreement, the Organization implements the Plan with Synapse.
...
Private Storage: Storage managed by Sage on behalf of the Organization in the form of an S3 bucket that contains only that Organization’s content. Storage and Egress is limited by the Organization’s Plan. AWS Open Data is an example of private storage.
Storage Limit: The upper allowed amount of storage (in GB) for the total amount of data in the organization.
Egress Limit: The upper limit of egress of data from within projects in the organization (measured in GB/Year).

Organizations are created by the following actions:
When a Certified User user without a default Organization creates their first project, this creates a Basic Plan and a Default Organization - The Organization should have a default name of the username & ”org” or username & ”Organization”
A user with a default organization is an Organization Member, not an Organization Manager.
...
Storage limits are calculated against any content in shared or private storage. Content stored in Custom Storage is not counted against the limit. For example, take a simple organization with a Self-Managed plan (100 GB limit) with 3 projects, (Projects A, B, & C) Project A (30GB) has its storage in shared private storage A. Project B (40GB) has its storage in private Storage B. Project C (700GB) has its storage in custom storage.
...
When an organization is at > = NN% of the Storage Limit, the Organization Managers MUST BE notified via Email and via a UI indicator in SWC with directions (or links to directions in help) to avoid hitting the limit.
