# Create and delete Organizations

You can use Organization-level options to [create](#create-an-organization) and [delete](#delete-an-organization) Organizations and [Set your preferred Organization](/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations/set-your-preferred-organization.md)

## Create an Organization

The number of Organizations you can create depends on your [pricing plan](https://snyk.io/plans/). 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.

4\. Click **Create organization**.

A new Organization is created and is added to your Organizations list.

By default, each Organization has a unique Snyk ID and internal name, which you can find on the **Settings** page of the Organization.

Review the settings and integrations for the new Organization and adjust them to meet your requirements before importing Projects to the new Organization.

## Delete an Organization

Organization Admins can delete Organizations when there are no Groups. If the Organization is in a Group, only a Group Admin can delete the Organization.

Follow these steps to delete an Organization:

1\. On the Snyk Web UI, open the Organization dropdown list on the top menu and select the Organization you want to delete.

2\. After the selected Organization appears, click **Org Settings** on the Group menu.

3\. On the **Settings** page, select **Genera**l on the menu.

4\. Scroll down to the **Delete organization** section and click **Delete organization**:

## 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.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-hierarchy/organizations/create-and-delete-organizations.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.
