# Build an organisation

Select accounts to combine into an organisation.

Create an organisation, managing your accounts from a single location in the Stripe Dashboard. After you create an organisation, you can invite additional team members to [access your organisation](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 organisation must be a [Super Administrator](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/teams/roles.md) in each account added to the organisation. Stripe automatically assigns this role to the account owner, who can assign the Super Administrator role to the organisation 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 organisation.

## Create an organisation

To create an organisation from one of your Stripe accounts:

1. Navigate to the account picker in the Dashboard.

1. Select **Create**, and then click [Create organization](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org-creation).

1. Enter a name for your organisation.

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

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

1. Click **Create**.

## Manage SSO behaviour

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

1. Obtain your `org_id` from your [organisation 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 organisation.

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

## Add an existing account to an organisation

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

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 organisation 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. Click **Add**.

## Remove an account from an organisation

To remove an account from an organisation:

1. Go to [Organisation management](https://dashboard.stripe.com/org/settings/org), and click the overflow menu (⋯) next to the name of the account you want to remove.

1. Click **Remove from organisation**.

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

You must be a [Super Administrator](https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/teams/roles.md) of the organisation to remove an account. If you remove every account from an organisation, Stripe permanently closes it.
