Create Organizations

You can create organizations using either the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API.

Availability varies by Auth0 plan

Your Auth0 plan or custom agreement affects whether this feature is available. To learn more, read Pricing.

Auth0 Dashboard

To create an organization via the Auth0 Dashboard:

Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Organizations.
Select Create Organization.

Enter basic information for your organization, and select Add Organization:

Field	Description
Name	Name of the organization you would like to create. This is the name that an end-user would type in the pre-login prompt to identify which organization they wanted to log in through. Unique logical identifier. May contain lowercase alphabetical characters, numbers, underscores (`_`), and dashes (`-`). Can start with a number. Must be between 3 and 50 characters.
Display Name	User-friendly name to display.

Locate the Branding section and customize your organization, then select Save changes:

Field	Description
Organization Logo	Logo to display. Minimum recommended resolution is 200 pixels (width) by 200 pixels (height).
Primary Color	Color for primary elements.
Page Background Color	Color for background.

Locate the Metadata section and add any necessary metadata key/value pairs to the organization, then select Add.

Management API

To create an organization via the Management API:

Make a POST call to the Create Organizations endpoint. Be sure to replace MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN, ORG_NAME, ORG_DISPLAY_NAME, ORG_LOGO, ORG_PRIMARY_COLOR, ORG_BACKGROUND_COLOR, KEY/VALUE, CONNECTION_ID, and ASSIGN_MEMBERSHIP_OPTION placeholder values with your Management API Access Token, organization name, organization display name, organization logo, organization primary color, organization background color, organization metadata keys and values, connection ID, and membership assignment option, respectively.

Find Your Auth0 Domain

If your Auth0 domain is your tenant name, your regional subdomain (unless your tenant is in the US region and was created before June 2020), plus .auth0.com. For example, if your tenant name were travel0, your Auth0 domain name would be travel0.us.auth0.com. (If your tenant were in the US and created before June 2020, then your domain name would be https://travel0.auth0.com.)

If you are using custom domains, this should be your custom domain name.

Value	Description
`MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Access Token for the Management API with the scope `create:organizations`.
`ORG_NAME`	Name of the organization you would like to create. This is the name that an end-user would type in the pre-login prompt to identify which organization they wanted to log in through. Unique logical identifier. May contain lowercase alphabetical characters, numbers, underscores (`_`), and dashes (`-`). Can start with a number. Must be between 3 and 50 characters.
`ORG_DISPLAY_NAME` optional	User-friendly name of the organizations that can be displayed in the login flow and email templates.
`ORG_LOGO` optional	URL of the organization’s logo.
`ORG_PRIMARY_COLOR` optional	HEX color code for primary elements.
`ORG_BACKGROUND_COLOR` optional	HEX color code for background.
`KEY`/`VALUE` optional	String key/value pairs that represent metadata for the organization. Maximum of 255 characters each. Maximum of 10 metadata pairs.
`CONNECTION_ID` optional	ID of the connection you want to enable for the specified organization. Enabled connections are displayed on the organization's login prompt, so users can access your application(s) through them.
`ASSIGN_MEMBERSHIP_OPTION` optional	Indicates whether you want users that log in with the enabled connection to automatically be granted membership in the specified organization. When set to `true`, users will automatically be granted membership. When set to `false`, they will not automatically be granted membership.
