Create and Manage Organizations

An organization represents a real enterprise, business, firm, company or another organization, to which users belong. In OroCRM Community Edition, only one organization is available in the system, and you cannot create more. In OroCRM Enterprise edition, you can create as many organizations as necessary.

Note

To create a new organization in OroCRM Enterprise edition:

  1. Navigate to System > User Management > Organizations in the main menu.
