# Set up your organization


Before you manage members and access, set up your Docker organization. You can
create an organization, onboard and secure it, update its information, or convert
an existing user account into an organization.

## Setting up your organization

You set up your organization from [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com) and
must be assigned the
[organization owner role](/enterprise/security/roles-and-permissions/).
Setting up an organization happens in broad phases:

1. You can create a new organization, or convert an existing user account
   into one. Choose the option that fits how you already use Docker. You
   don't need both.
1. After creating your organization, you must onboard it by inviting members,
   securing authentication, and enforcing sign-in. These steps build on each
   other, so follow them in order.
1. You can update your organization's general information whenever it changes.
