Administrators can manage companies and organizations using the
39
+
[Docker Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin). The Admin Console
40
+
provides centralized observability, access management, and security controls
41

across Docker environments.

## Company and organization hierarchy

The [Docker Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin) provides administrators with centralized observability, access management, and controls for their company and organizations. To provide these features, Docker uses the following hierarchy and roles.

48
+
49
+
### Company
50
+
51
+
A company groups multiple Docker organizations for centralized configuration.
52
+
Companies are only available for Docker Business subscribers.
53
+
54
+
Companies have the following administrator role available:
55
+
56
+
- Company owner: Can view and manage all organizations within the company.
57
+
Has full access to company-wide settings and inherits the same permissions as
58
+
organization owners.
59
+
60
+
### Organization
61
+
62
+
An organization contains teams and repositories. All Docker Team and Business
63
+
subscribers must have at least one organization.
64
+
65
+
Organizations have the following administrator role available:
66
+
67
+
- Organization owner: Can manage organization settings, users, and access
68
+
controls.
69
+
70
+
### Team
71
+
72
+
Teams are optional and let you group members to assign repository permissions
73
+
collectively. Teams simplify permission management across projects
74
+
or functions.
75
+
76
+
### Member
77
+
78
+
A member is any Docker user added to an organization. Organization and company
79
+
owners can assign roles to members to define their level of access.
80
+
81

83

84

Business subscriptions.

89
+
90
+

91
+

You can convert an existing user account to an organization. This is useful if you need multiple users to access your account and the repositories that it’s connected to. Converting it to an organization gives you better control over permissions for these users through [teams](manage-a-team.md) and [roles](roles-and-permissions.md).

If you want to convert your user account into an organization account and you don't have any other user accounts, you need to create a new user account to assign it as the owner of the new organization. With the owner role assigned, this user account has full administrative access to configure and manage the organization. You can assign more users the owner role after the conversion.

## Effects of converting an account into an organization
38
-
39
-
Consider the following effects of converting your account:
40
-
41
-
- This process removes the email address for the account, and organization owners will receive notification emails instead. You'll be able to reuse the removed email address for another account after converting.
42
-
43
-
- The current subscription will cancel and your new subscription will start.
44
-
45
-
-Repository namespaces and names won't change, but converting your account removes any repository collaborators. Once you convert the account, you'll need to add those users as team members.
46
-
47
-
-Existing automated builds will appear as if they were set up by the first owner added to the organization. See [Convert an account into an organization](#convert-an-account-into-an-organization) for steps on adding the first owner.
48
-
49
-
- The user account that you add as the first owner will have full administrative access to configure and manage the organization.
50
-
51
-
- To transfer a user's personal access tokens (PATs) to your converted organization,
52
-
you must designate the user as an organization owner. This will ensure any PATs associated with the user's account are transferred to the organization owner.
53
-
54
-
> [!TIP]
55
-
>
56
-
> To avoid potentially disrupting service of personal access tokens when converting an account or changing ownership, it is recommended to use [organization access tokens](/manuals/security/for-admins/access-tokens.md). Organization access tokens are
57
-
associated with an organization, not a single user account.

## What happens when you convert your account
40
+
41
+
The following happens when you convert your account into
42
+
an organization:
43
+
44
+
- This process removes the email address for the account. Notifications are
45
+
instead sent to organization owners. You'll be able to reuse the
46
+
removed email address for another account after converting.
47
+
-The current subscription will automatically cancel and your new subscription
48
+
will start.
49
+
-Repository namespaces and names won't change, but converting your account
50
+
removes any repository collaborators. Once you convert the account, you'll need
51
+
to add repository collaborators as team members.
52

- Existing automated builds appear as if they were set up by the first owner
53

added to the organization.

- The user account that you add as the first owner will have full
55

administrative access to configure and manage the organization.
56

- To transfer a user's personal access tokens (PATs) to your converted
57

organization, you must designate the user as an organization owner. This will

62
-
63
-
- Removed your user account from any company or teams or organizations
64
-
- Created a new Docker ID before you convert an account

71
-
1. Review the warning displayed about converting a user account. This action cannot be undone and has considerable implications for your assets and the account.
72
-
1. Enter a **Username of new owner** to set an organization owner. This is the user account that will manage the organization, and the only way to access the organization settings after conversion. You cannot use the same Docker ID as the account you are trying to convert.
73

1. Select **Confirm**. The new owner receives a notification email. Use that owner account to sign in and manage the new organization.
