Manage Astra organizations

You can create or join multiple Astra organizations to separate resources, billing, access, teams, customers, environments, or any other categories that are useful for you.

This page describes how to administer organizations, including creating and editing organizations.

For information about organizations associated with your personal user account, see Manage your Astra account.

Create an organization

Organizations are either standalone or part of an enterprise:

Standalone organizations: Organizations on the Free and Pay As You Go subscription plans have no relationship to each other, and they are managed independently.
Enterprise organizations: If you have an Enterprise subscription plan, you can use enterprise organization management to centrally manage multiple related organizations under one enterprise.

Your Astra account can belong to both types of organizations, and you can be both an Enterprise Administrator and an Organization Administrator.

Standalone organizations
Enterprise organizations

No specific permissions are required to create standalone organizations. If you have an Astra account, you can create a standalone organization at any time.

In the Astra Portal header, click Settings.
In the Settings navigation menu, click the name of the active organization, and then select Create Organization.
Enter a name for the organization and an optional description.

When you create an organization, you are the initial Organization Administrator, and the Organization email defaults to your Astra account email address. After you create the organization, you can change the Organization email.
Click Create Organization.

Standalone organizations always start on the Free plan. If you want to upgrade this organization, see Astra DB Classic billing and usage.

A user with the Manage Enterprise Organization permission can transfer an existing standalone organization into an enterprise or create a new organization directly in an enterprise. For instructions and more information about both of these options, see Manage organizations in your enterprise.

Invite users

After you create an organization, you can invite users to join the organization.

For information about inviting users, removing users, and editing user roles, see Manage users and Manage roles and permissions.

Switch organizations

If you have multiple organizations, you must switch organizations to work with the databases and other resources in those organizations:

In the Astra Portal header, click the active organization name.
From the list of organizations, select the organization that you want to switch to.

Get an organization ID

Astra Portal
DevOps API

You can get the active organization ID from any Astra Portal URL, such as astra.datastax.com/org/ORGANIZATION_ID/. If you belong to multiple organizations, the URL reflects your current active organization. For more information, see Switch organizations.

You can also get an organization’s ID from the organization settings:

In the Astra Portal header, click Settings.
In the Settings navigation menu, click the name of the active organization, and then select the organization for which you need an ID.

If the organization belongs to an enterprise, select the enterprise, and then select the organization in the Organizations list.
On the organization’s General page, find the Organization ID, and then click Copy.

You can use GET /v2/currentOrg to get the organization ID associated with a given application token:

curl -sS -L -X GET "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/currentOrg" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

A successful request returns the organization ID associated with the token:

{ "id": "**ORG_ID**" }

Edit organization settings

To manage an organization’s settings, you must be an Organization Administrator for that organization.

Change the name or description of an organization

To change an organization’s display name or description do the following:

In the Astra Portal header, click Settings.
In the Settings navigation menu, click the name of the active organization, and then select the organization you want to edit.

If the organization belongs to an enterprise, select the enterprise, and then select the organization in the Organizations list.
On the organization’s General page, click Edit, enter the new name or description, and then click Update Organization.

Change the email address for an organization

To change an organization’s primary email address, do the following:

In the Astra Portal header, click Settings.
In the Settings navigation menu, click the name of the active organization, and then select the organization you want to edit.

If the organization belongs to an enterprise, select the enterprise, and then select the organization in the Organizations list.
On the organization’s General page, click Update email, enter the desired email address, and then click Update email.

DataStax sends a verification email to the new email address. To confirm this change, you or another Organization Administrator must have access to the new email address.
Follow the link in the verification email to finalize the change.

Delete an organization

Deleting an organization is permanent and irreversible.

If you are the Enterprise Administrator or the Organization Administrator for multiple organizations, you can delete organizations you no longer need.

You cannot delete your default (personal) organization unless you delete your account.

Billing and usage for deleted organizations is included in the current billing period up until the time of deletion.

Prepare to delete an organization

Clean up organization resources to prepare for deletion:

Required: Delete or remove all databases, streaming tenants, built-in integrations, and SSO configurations from the organization. For more information, see the following:
Optional: If you no longer need them, delete Langflow instances.
Recommended: Clean up any resources in your cloud providers associated with customer keys, custom domains, or private endpoints that were used by the organization or any of its databases.
