# Organizations Organizations represent business areas such as teams, products, or environments. An Organization contains [Snyk Projects](/snyk-platform-administration/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.
