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.

  1. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Organizations.

  2. Select Create Organization.

  3. 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.
