# Organizations on Confluent Cloud

In Confluent Cloud, the Organization resource is the root node in the Confluent Cloud resource hierarchy.
If you have a [minimum spend commitment](../../../../billing/overview.md#cloud-billing-annual-commitment),
there is a 1:1 relationship between one organization and one spend commit.

Organizations might contain:

- One to many [user accounts](../../../authenticate/user-identities/user-accounts/overview.md#user-accounts).
- Zero to many [service accounts](../../../authenticate/workload-identities/service-accounts/overview.md#service-accounts).
- Zero to many [environments](../cloud-environments.md#cloud-environments).

When you first sign up for Confluent Cloud, a new organization is created simultaneously
with the first user account that belongs to that organization. When you invite
another user to Confluent Cloud, the invited user is added to the existing organization.

### Cloud Organization ID

Each organization in Confluent Cloud is uniquely identified by a Cloud Organization ID.

You can get your Cloud Organization ID on either the
**Organizations** page or the **Billing & payment** page:

**Organizations** page
: In Confluent Cloud Console, go to the **Organizations** page at
  [https://confluent.cloud/settings/organizations](https://confluent.cloud/settings/organizations).
  <br/>
  The **Organizations** page appears with a listing of the organizations
  that you are a member of, displaying the **Name** and the **ID** (Cloud
  Organization ID). The label **Current** appears next to the organization
  you are signed in to.

**Billings & payment** page
: To view this page, you must be a member of the OrganizationAdmin or BillingAdmin role.
  <br/>
  In the Confluent Cloud Console, go to the **Billing & payment** page at
  [https://confluent.cloud/settings/billing/invoice](https://confluent.cloud/settings/billing/invoice),
  click the **Payments & contacts** tab. You can see the **Cloud Organization ID**
  value and click **Copy** to save it for later use.
  <br/>
  For more information, see [Billing profile and payment](../../../../billing/overview.md#cloud-billing-profile).

## Leave an organization

Leaving an organization revokes your access to its resources and data. If you
need to regain access, you must be invited back by an existing member or the
owner.

If you are the last member of the organization, you can leave the organization
as long as you have deleted any active resources (for example, clusters and
connectors), and then click **Leave this organization**. After you leave an
organization that you are the only member of, the organization goes into a
suspended mode and is deleted after the suspension grace period.

To leave an organization:

1. In Confluent Cloud Console, open the sidebar menu. Above the current user name,
   click the organization name.
   - If you belong to only one organization, the organization **Details** page
     appears.
   - If you belong to multiple organizations, the **Organizations** page
     appears, displaying a list of the organizations you belong to. Click the
     name of the organization you want to leave. The organization **Details**
     page appears.
2. Click **Leave this organization**. The **Leave organization** dialog appears.
3. Enter the **Organization name** and click **Confirm**.

You are removed from the organization.

## Delete an organization

RBAC role required: [OrganizationAdmin](../../rbac/predefined-rbac-roles.md#organizationadmin-role)

Deleting an organization removes all resources and data. You cannot undo
this action. Once an organization is deleted, it cannot be restored.

You can delete an organization if it does not have a
[minimum spend commitment](../../../../billing/overview.md#cloud-billing-annual-commitment).

Deleting an organization does not affect billing that has accrued to date.

- Your registered payment method is charged on the scheduled payment date for
  usage in the current month, even if you delete the organization. This is the
  final charge on the organization.
- After deletion, your organization does not accrue additional charges.

To delete an organization:

1. In Confluent Cloud Console, open the sidebar menu. Above the current user name,
   click the organization name.
   - If you belong to only one organization, the organization **Details** page
     appears.
   - If you belong to multiple organizations, the **Organizations** page
     appears, displaying a list of the organizations you belong to. Click the
     name of the organization you want to delete. The organization **Details**
     page appears.
2. In the **Details** section, click the **Settings** icon, and then click
   **Delete organization**. The **Delete organization** dialog appears.
   ![Organization details page with the Settings icon menu open, showing the Delete organization option](images/ccloud-delete-organization.png)
3. Review the statements to ensure you understand the impact on billing.
4. Enter the **Organization name** and click **Confirm**.

Your organization is scheduled for deletion, which occurs after three days. If
you change your mind before the scheduled deletion, you must contact Confluent
Support to halt deletion.

### Multiple organizations

Confluent Cloud supports the use of multiple organizations.
