An organization is created when a user first creates their account. Any additional users they invite will become part of that organization.
Organization Admin

Organization admins can also grant the same privilege to other users.

Typically, a specification is made up of multiple requirements.
Requirements must describe the outcome required in clear, specific terms. They do not need to include any background or justification as these are covered elsewhere in the specification.
