Join or leave an organization

Organizations in Elastic Cloud group user accounts, projects, and deployments under a common billing and access structure. If you have been invited to an organization, you can accept the invitation and become a member. You can join multiple organizations, or create a new organization.

You can also leave an organization, with some restrictions. Refer to Leave an organization for details.

This guide explains how to join or leave an organization. To learn how to view organizations you have access to and switch between them, refer to View and switch between Elastic Cloud organizations.

When you're invited to join an organization, you receive an email with a link to accept the invitation. Invitations expire after 72 hours. If you don't accept within that period, an administrator of the organization needs to send a new invitation. Refer to manage users for more information.

To accept an invitation:

1. Open the invitation email and click Accept invitation.
2. Log in if prompted. If you already have an active session in your browser, you don't need to log in again.
3. After accepting, you're switched to the new organization automatically. The new organization also appears in your list of organizations.

To decline an invitation, you can ignore the email. The invitation expires automatically after 72 hours.

You can leave an organization at any time. If you are the only owner of an organization, you must transfer ownership before leaving.

You can leave only the organization you're currently signed in to. To leave a different organization, switch to it first.

To leave your current organization:

1. Log in to the Elastic Cloud Console.
2. From the top navigation menu, click on the user menu and select Profile.
3. Click the My organizations tab.
4. Click Leave current organization.
5. In the confirmation dialog, click Leave current organization to confirm.
