In the organizations and projects hierarchy, an organization can contain multiple projects (previously referred to as groups). Under this structure:

  • Billing happens at the organization level while preserving visibility into usage in each project.

  • You can view all projects within an organization.

  • You can use teams to bulk assign organization users to projects within the organization.

If you need to scale beyond the existing project limits, you can create multiple organizations.

When you create an organization, you are added as an Organization Owner for the organization.
