# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ellipsis-drive.com/developers/api-v3/organization/create-organization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
