# Using Organizations

Organizations allow you to run a Coder deployment with multiple platform teams,
all with uniquely scoped templates, provisioners, users, groups, and workspaces.
## Prerequisites
- Coder deployment with non-standard license with Organizations enabled
([contact your account team](https://coder.com/contact))
- User with `Owner` role
- Coder CLI installed on local machine
## Switch to the preview image and enable the experiment
To try the latest organizations features, switch to a preview image in your Helm
chart and enable the
[experimental flag](../reference/cli/server.md#--experiments).
For example, with Kubernetes, set the following in your `values.yaml`:
```yaml
coderd:
image:
repo: ghcr.io/coder/coder-preview
tag: orgs-preview-aug-16
env:
- name: CODER_EXPERIMENTS
value: multi-organization
```
> See all
> [preview images](https://github.com/coder/coder/pkgs/container/coder-preview)
> in GitHub. Preview images prefixed with `main-` expire after a week.
Then, upgrade your deployment:
```sh
helm upgrade coder coder-v2/coder -f values.yaml
```
## The default organization
All Coder deployments start with one organization called `Default`.
To edit the organization details, navigate to `Deployment -> Organizations` in
the top bar:
![Organizations Menu](../images/guides/using-organizations/deployment-organizations.png)
From there, you can manage the name, icon, description, users, and groups:
![Organization Settings](../images/guides/using-organizations/default-organization.png)
## Guide: Your first organization
### 1. Create the organization
Within the sidebar, click `New organization` to create an organization. In this
example, we'll create the `data-platform` org.
![New Organization](../images/guides/using-organizations/new-organization.png)
From there, let's deploy a provisioner and template for this organization.
### 2. Deploy a provisioner
[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:
```sh
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).
```sh
export CODER_URL=https://<your-coder-url>
export CODER_PROVISIONER_DAEMON_KEY=<key>
coder provisionerd start --org <org-name>
```
### 3. Create a template
Once you've started a provisioner, you can create a template. You'll notice the
"Create Template" screen now has an organization dropdown:
![Template Org Picker](../images/guides/using-organizations/template-org-picker.png)
### 5. Add members
Navigate to `Deployment->Organizations` to add members to your organization.
Once added, they will be able to see the organization-specific templates.
![Add members](../images/guides/using-organizations/organization-members.png)
### 6. Create a workspace
Now, users in the data platform organization will see the templates related to
their organization. Users can be in multiple organizations.
![Workspace List](../images/guides/using-organizations/workspace-list.png)
## Planned work
Organizations is under active development. The work is planned before
organizations is generally available:
- View provisioner health via the Coder UI
- Custom Role support in Coder UI
- Per-organization quotas
- Improved visibility of organization-specific resources throughout the UI
- Sync OIDC claims to auto-assign users to organizations / roles + SCIM support
