Symptoms:
- I am a new Unity user and would like to know what an 'organization' is.
- I have heard that my projects and licenses will be associated with my default organization and I would like to know what that means.
- I don’t know what an organization is.
Resolution:
When you create a Unity account, a default organization is created for you automatically. This default organization has the same name as your Unity account username. This is considered to be a 'master' organisation and is tied to your Unity accounts creation. Every new Unity account will have a default organisation added automatically, as a starting point.
An organization is used for license and subscription management, Asset Store purchases and project management, including collaboration purposes with other users.
When you purchase a Unity subscription or assets from the Asset Store, they will be associated with an organization of your choosing.
You are free to create as many organisations you feel you need for development and collaboration purposes in the future.

Important: If you are working as part of a company or larger organization with many users, you should not use a default organization for this. The reason for this is because the owner of a default organization cannot be changed, for the reasons above. If your company needs to purchase and manage product licenses or assets, it is highly recommended that you create a brand new organization for the companies purpose, to avoid any complications in the future. |
