# Build an organization

Select accounts to combine into an organization.

Create an organization, managing your accounts from a single location in the Stripe Dashboard. After you create an organization, you can invite additional team members to [access your organization](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/orgs/team.md) by navigating to your [Team and security](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org/settings/team) settings.

## Before you begin

- The person who creates the organization must be a [Super Administrator](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/teams/roles.md) in each account added to the organization. Stripe automatically assigns this role to the account owner, who can assign the Super Administrator role to the organization creator, if it’s a different person. If an account’s owner leaves, you can [request an ownership transfer](https://support.stripe.com/questions/change-the-owner-of-a-stripe-account).

- You must [Consolidate the IdPs](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/orgs/sso.md) of any accounts with SSO enabled before you add them to the organization.

## Create an organization 

To create an organization from one of your Stripe accounts:

1. Navigate to your [Account details](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account) in the Dashboard.

1. Click **Create organization**.

1. Enter a name for your organization.

1. Select the accounts you want to add to the organization. You can add up to 75 accounts.

1. Agree to the [Terms of Service](https://stripe.com/legal/organizations).

1. Click **Create**.

## Manage SSO behavior

After you create an organization, [SSO](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/sso.md) configuration for all accounts transfers to the organization. You must update your identity provider (IdP) to assign roles through the organization and consolidate account SSO management under the organization’s IdP.

1. Obtain your `org_id` from your [organization management settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org/settings/org) in the Dashboard.
1. Add or update your IdP attribute statement to use `Stripe-Role-org_id` (instead of `Stripe-Role-acct_id`) so you can assign roles in the organization.

> Failure to update your SSO integration can result in restricted user access.

## Add an existing account to an organization 

After you create an organization, you can add an existing account. An organization can include up to 75 accounts, and each account can belong to only one organization.

1. Click **Add account** next to **Business accounts** on the [homepage](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org/dashboard).

1. Select **Choose from existing accounts**.

1. Select the accounts you want to add. If you’re a Super Administrator of an account, you can add the account to your organization directly. If you’re an Administrator of an account, you can send an invite to the Super Administrator. If you’re not sure who the Super Administrator is, check the account’s [Team settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/team). The person who created an account is automatically made a Super Administrator. India Stripe Accounts aren’t eligible at this time.

1. Make sure you assign account-level roles to any users who inherited them from the organization if you want them to continue having those permissions in the removed account.
