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.
