Create an Organization

An organization should be as large as can be easily managed in order to maximize economies of scale and reduce data silos.
You can create an organization on your first sign in.
TIP: The user who creates an organization is the owner for that organization.
An organization:
  • can be as large as can be easily managed
  • defines how data and entitlements are shared by users
  • can use the Organization Access checkbox to make the organization public or private
  • cannot be permanently deleted
    TIP: You can archive redundant organizations. See Archive an Organization.
When creating an organization, an email domain is used to allow other users to find an organization which is marked as public. Users with matching email domains can find this organization and request access to it.
