Creating an organization is straightforward. From the VergeCloud dashboard, navigate to the Organization section using the sidebar menu. If no organization exists for the account, you will see an option to create one. Click “Create Organization” to begin the process. Once the organization is created, the user who created it is automatically assigned the Owner role. Owners have full administrative control over the organization, including the ability to invite new members, configure settings, manage billing, and monitor usage.

After creating an organization, several new features become available to streamline team collaboration and management. The Members Listallows owners and admins to view all active users, monitor their access, and manage invitations. The API Keys section enables centralized creation, management, and monitoring of keys, ensuring secure programmatic access across your organization. Settings and notification preferences allow fine-tuned control over alerts and system updates. Audit and activity logs provide detailed records of actions taken by members, which is essential for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and compliance audits.

Organizations provide numerous advantages for teams and businesses. First, they facilitate collaboration by allowing managers to assign responsibilities, track usage, and coordinate efforts across multiple members. By defining clear roles and scopes, organizations enhance security, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive resources. Centralized billing simplifies financial management by consolidating plan subscriptions, invoices, and payment methods in one location. Organizations are also scalable, supporting business growth by enabling flexible role assignments and easy onboarding of new members.

With an organization, administrators can implement robust governance processes, ensuring that policies and procedures are followed consistently. This is particularly important for companies with regulatory requirements, as centralized logs and access control make audits simpler and more reliable. Teams benefit from improved transparency and accountability, as actions taken by members are traceable and clearly associated with their accounts.

API Reference

There are several important considerations when creating and managing organizations. All user invitations are tied to unique email addresses. Once an invitation is sent, the email cannot be updated, so care must be taken to ensure the correct email is used. A single user can belong to multiple organizations, which allows them to participate in multiple teams or projects. Users can easily switch between organizations using the sidebar selector in the VergeCloud dashboard.

Creating an organization is a one-time action required to unlock advanced team features. Once established, the organization provides a structured environment for collaboration, security, and centralized management. Regular review of roles, membership, and activity logs is recommended to maintain security and ensure that permissions remain aligned with current responsibilities.

By using organizations, teams can work together efficiently while maintaining strong control over access, security, and billing. The model supports both small teams and large enterprises, offering the flexibility needed to scale operations and adapt to evolving business requirements. Proper setup and management of organizations lead to better collaboration, enhanced security, and streamlined administration, making it a foundational feature for any VergeCloud user looking to leverage team-based workflows.
