Company accounts

A company is where you configure sign-in and administration for multiple Docker organizations.

Tip

Organization owners with a Docker Business subscription can create a company in Docker Home.

Company structure

A company sits above its organizations, giving company owners full administrative access across every organization in the company.

The following diagram shows that hierarchy:

  co(("Company owners")) -.->|"manage"| C

    direction TB
    subgraph O1["Organization A"]
      direction TB
      m1(("Members"))
      r1[("Repositories")]
    end
    subgraph O2["Organization B"]
      direction TB
      m2(("Members"))
      r2[("Repositories")]
    end

What a company lets you do

When you create a company, you can:

• Administer every organization in the company from one place.
• Configure single sign-on (SSO) and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) once for every organization in the company.
• Verify your domains once at the company level instead of in each organization. When you turn on auto-provisioning for a domain, you choose which organization new users join.
• View members and invitations from every organization in one list, and export that list as a CSV.

You can assign up to 10 company owners. Company owners occupy a purchased seat only when they are also members of an organization. A company owner who is not an organization member does not occupy a seat.
