Create an organization

Use an organization to connect groups of related projects, and help to scale up your enterprise. You can use a personal Microsoft account, GitHub account, or a work or school account. Use your work or school account to automatically connect your organization to your Microsoft Entra ID.

Prerequisites

Understand how to plan your organizational structure.
Determine whether you want to use only Microsoft accounts or authenticate users with Microsoft Entra ID. For more information, see Choosing your organization administrator account type.

Important

Adhere to the following guidelines when you create an organization name.

Use only letters from the English alphabet
Start your organization name with a letter or number
Use letters, numbers, or hyphens after the initial character
Ensure that your organization doesn't exceed 50 Unicode characters
End with a letter or number

If you use any of the disallowed characters, you get the following error message: VS850015: The specified name is not allowed to be used: {Organization name}.
