Create Organization

This is a guide on how to create a new organization in the CrateDB Cloud Console. If you follow the cluster deployment tutorial, your first organization will be automatically created for you. However, there are scenarios where you may want to create a new organization.

If you arrive at the Console for the first time, or if you have deleted your last organization, you will have to create an organization to use the CrateDB Cloud Console’s functionality.

If you wish to create multiple organizations when you are already member of one, the process is slightly different. This guide will outline both methods.

Create first organization

When you first access the CrateDB Cloud Console after signing up, you will arrive at the Cluster overview page. You will also be informed, that your first organization named “My Organization” has been created for you.

Create multiple organizations

If you are already in an organization and want to create another one, go to the Account tab. Here you will see a list of all your organizations and your user role in them.

Cloud Console account tab

To create a new organization, click on Create new organization at the top right above the organization list. When prompted, simply input the name of your new organization and confirm by clicking Create organization. To delete an organization, click the trashcan icon next to the organization in the list.

Note

By default, users can be part of a maximum of two organizations. If you need to join more organizations, please contact Crate.io support.

To switch the active organization, click on the organization name in the list. All organization and cluster management options displayed in the CrateDB Cloud Console will then refer to that organization until you switch organizations again.
