organization

An organization is a list of members from the same business, association, or entity who can sign in, access tools and applications, and collaborate with other members in a portal. All members have an ArcGIS account and are approved by an administrator to access the same portal.

There are two types of organizations:

Single-user organization: A single-user organization only supports one member and is available to developers who sign up for ArcGIS Location Platform. The developer is the administrator and the only member of the organization. No other members can be added. The portal for the organization is hosted in Esri's infrastructure.

Multi-user organization: A multi-user organization can contain many members and is available to users/developers who sign up for ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise (with Portal for ArcGIS). The administrator controls who can join the organization and what role they have. The number of members the organization supports is determined by the subscription's user limit (ArcGIS Online only). The portal for an ArcGIS Online organization is hosted in Esri's infrastructure while the portal for ArcGIS Enterprise is hosted in your own infrastructure.
