Manage multiple Elastic Cloud organizations

You can create or access multiple organizations from a single Elastic Cloud account. You might want to use multiple organizations for reasons such as the following:

• You want to separate management of your Elastic Cloud resources and settings for different use cases or teams.
• You want to create a trial to evaluate additional Elastic Cloud features or solutions.

Although you can access multiple organizations from the same Elastic Cloud account, each organization is independent. Each organization has its own set of resources, users, settings, and billing and licensing. Because of this, you need to be logged in to the organization you want to manage to make changes to its resources and settings, or invite users to join it.

You can perform the following tasks to manage multiple organizations:

• Create a new organization
• View the organizations you have access to
• Switch to a different organization
• Invite users to join additional organizations
• View your users' organization memberships

You can create a new organization at any time. Each organization starts with its own 14-day trial.

To create a new 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. From the Organizations page, click Create organization.
5. Enter an optional name for your organization, and then click Create organization.

After you create the organization, you can switch to it by clicking the organization name in the Organizations list.

You can view the organizations you have access to from the Overview page.

To view the organizations:

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.

The organizations you have access to appear in the My organizations list. In the list, you can view the organization's name, its status, your roles in the organization, and when you were added to the organization.

You can switch between organizations at any time. Depending on the authentication requirements for the organization, you might be required to re-authenticate.

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 the name of the organization you want to switch to. If it doesn't appear in the list, click Manage organizations to view all of the organizations you have access to.

1. Log in to the Elastic Cloud Console.
2. From the top navigation menu, in the breadcrumb list, click the name of your current organization.
3. Click on the organization that you want to log into, or
4. Click the My organizations tab.
5. Click the name of the organization you want to switch to.

Because users are managed at the organization level, you must invite users from within the organization that you want them to join. You can't invite users to join multiple organizations at once.

If a user already has an Elastic Cloud account, then they don't need to sign up again. Instead, they can log in with their selected login method.

If your organization uses SAML SSO, then you don't need to invite users to join the organization. Users are added to the organization automatically when they log in to your identity provider SSO URL.

Organizations can have different authentication requirements. For example, one organization might enforce SAML SSO, while another organization might social login with Google or Microsoft. If your organization enforces a specific login method, then the user will need to use that method to log in, and might be prompted to re-authenticate.

You can view the organizations that your users are members of from the Members tab of the Organization page. This page shows which organizations each member of your current organization belongs to.

To view the organizations:

1. Log in to the Elastic Cloud Console.
2. From a deployment or project on the home page, select Manage.
3. From the lower navigation menu, select Organization.
4. Click the Members tab.
5. Click the name of the user you want to view the organizations for.
