An Organization contains [Snyk Projects](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-projects.md) that contain the code team members are scanning. The settings and policies of an Organization influence scan results, depending on which Organization is used when you import a Project, the default Organization, a personal Organization, or another Organization you specify. When you sign up with Snyk, you have a default Organization in your Enterprise Group, named like your username. Any Projects you import using the CLI or GitHub integration appear in this Organization by default. You can create an Organization or join an Organization by invitation. On the **Free** and **Team** plans, you can create up to five Organizations in your Tenant. On the **Enterprise** plan, you can create an unlimited number of Organizations. If you have more than one Organization, you can switch between Organizations in the Snyk WebUI or using the CLI.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
