Create a Docker organization

Create an organization to group members and teams under one namespace and one subscription. Your Docker ID stays an individual account. To use an existing Docker ID as the namespace, see Convert a Docker account to an organization.

Prerequisites

You need a Docker ID before you create an organization.

Tip

Review Docker subscriptions and features before you choose a plan.

Create an organization

When you create a new organization, you must select a Docker plan, enter organization details, and verify billing details.

1. Sign in to Docker Home and select Create new organization at the bottom of the organization list.
2. On Plan, choose a subscription, a billing cycle, and the number of seats. Select Continue to profile.
3. On Organization, enter the details for the new organization.
   • If you already belong to one or more organizations, this step opens as Choose an organization, which applies the subscription to an existing organization.
   • Select Create an organization to make a new one instead. The picker is replaced by the Organization namespace and Organization name fields.
   • For what each field means, see Names versus namespaces.
4. Select Continue to billing.
5. On Billing, enter billing information and select Continue to payment.
6. On Payment, enter payment details and select Purchase.

You can now view your new organization.

View an organization

1. Sign in to Docker Home.
2. Select your organization.

Docker Home lists the options you use to configure the organization.

Merge organizations

Warning

Merge organizations at the end of your billing cycle. When you merge an organization and downgrade another, you lose seats on the downgraded organization. Docker doesn't offer refunds for downgrades.

If you have multiple organizations that you want to merge into one:

1. Based on the number of seats from the secondary organization, purchase additional seats for the primary organization you want to keep.
2. Add users to the primary organization and remove them from the secondary organization.
3. Move your data, including repositories.
4. After the users and data are on the primary organization, downgrade the secondary account to a free subscription. Docker doesn't offer refunds for a downgrade in the middle of a billing cycle.

If your organization has a Docker Business subscription with a purchase order, contact Support or your account manager at Docker.
