Organizations can be used to segment and isolate resources inside a Coder

deployment for different user groups or projects.

Here is an example of how one could use organizations to run a Coder deployment

with multiple platform teams, all with unique resources:


All Coder deployments start with one organization called `Coder`.

To edit the organization details, navigate to `Deployment -> Organizations` in

the top bar:


From there, you can manage the name, icon, description, users, and groups:


Any additional organizations have unique admins, users, templates, provisioners,

groups, and workspaces. Each organization must have at least one

[provisioner](./provisioners.md) as the built-in provisioner only applies to the

default organization.

You can configure [organization/role/group sync](./auth.md) from your identity

provider to avoid manually assigning users to organizations.

- Coder v2.16+ deployment with Premium license with Organizations enabled

([contact your account team](https://coder.com/contact)) for more details.

- User with `Owner` role

Within the sidebar, click `New organization` to create an organization. In this

example, we'll create the `data-platform` org.


From there, let's deploy a provisioner and template for this organization.

[Provisioners](../admin/provisioners.md) are organization-scoped and are

responsible for executing Terraform/OpenTofu to provision the infrastructure for

workspaces and testing templates. Before creating templates, we must deploy at

least one provisioner as the built-in provisioners are scoped to the default

organization.

Using Coder CLI, run the following command to create a key that will be used to

authenticate the provisioner:

coder provisioner keys create data-cluster-key --org data-platform

Successfully created provisioner key data-cluster! Save this authentication token, it will not be shown again.

< key omitted >

Next, start the provisioner with the key on your desired platform. In this

example, we'll start it using the Coder CLI on a host with Docker. For

instructions on using other platforms like Kubernetes, see our

[provisioner documentation](../admin/provisioners.md).

export CODER_URL=https://<your-coder-url>

export CODER_PROVISIONER_DAEMON_KEY=<key>

coder provisionerd start --org <org-name>

Once you've started a provisioner, you can create a template. You'll notice the

"Create Template" screen now has an organization dropdown:


Navigate to `Deployment->Organizations` to add members to your organization.

Once added, they will be able to see the organization-specific templates.


Now, users in the data platform organization will see the templates related to

their organization. Users can be in multiple organizations.


As of v2.16.0, Organizations is in beta. If you encounter any issues, please
