# Create organization

Organizations provide a way to easily share maps with many users at once.  This is done by storing the data on a separate organization account instead of a regular user account, allowing users to be added as members of a group or admins and accordingly providing them with access to the organizations resources and management. Additionally this also provides an easy way to unify the storage plan and billing of enterprises.
