Introducing DigitalOcean Organizations, a new and comprehensive account layer

We’re excited to announce a powerful, new top-level account layer designed to bring all your teams together under one cohesive structure. This new account layer—we call it Organizations—is perfect for teams that need scalable structure without the massive, complex overhead of traditional enterprise cloud providers. Organizations was built to simplify account management for DigitalOcean customers who manage multiple teams and users.

We’ve heard from our growing customers, agencies, partners, and enterprises that managing multiple teams, separate bills, and fragmented user access is a pain. With this new organization layer, you can better organize your team’s access even as you scale up.

Why we built a new account layer

Before today, every Team on DigitalOcean was treated as its own separate account. If you managed five different clients, five different projects, or five internal departments, that meant five separate bills, five different places to manage user access, and a fragmented view of your overall cloud presence.

Our new account layer closes this gap by allowing you to consolidate multiple teams under one Organization, providing the centralized control and simplified operations needed by growing enterprises. By unifying your entire DigitalOcean presence into a single group, so you can streamline operations, gain more financial control, and build a cohesive environment that scales seamlessly.

What this new feature means for your team

The new Organizations account layer is designed to save you time, reduce administrative overhead, and give you a clearer picture of your entire DigitalOcean environment.

1. Consolidated billing and financial control

For customers managing dozens of teams, manually reconciling separate invoices and payment methods is a monumental task. We’ve eliminated it. Here’s how:

• Single invoice: Receive one unified invoice and utilize a single payment method for every Team included in an Organization.

• Detailed spend breakdown: Get complete financial clarity with a detailed spending breakdown per Team, allowing for easy internal billing or client reconciliation.

• Centralized credits and tax: Manage organization-level credits, discounts, and tax settings from one hub, ensuring they are applied universally.

This unified financial view simplifies accounting and gives you improved visibility into exactly how your cloud budget is spent.

2. Streamlined membership management

Managing users across dozens of separate accounts is both tedious and a security risk. DigitalOcean Organizations provides a central hub for all user administration.

• Centralized user management: Organization owners and admins can view and manage members across all of your underlying Teams from a single dashboard.

• Secure workflow: Simplify user onboarding, offboarding, and permission updates from one place, ensuring a more secure and efficient workflow.

3. Scalable and intuitive account hierarchy

Whether you’re migrating existing client accounts or spinning up a new department, the process is now seamless and structured.

• Self-service creation: Easily create new Teams within your Organization on demand, allowing you to expand your cloud presence instantly.

• Easy migration: We offer a clear, guided process for migrating your existing Teams into the new, consolidated organizational structure without disruption.

• Intuitive org dashboard: A centralized dashboard provides a clear, high-level view of your entire account hierarchy, allowing quick navigation and management of all administrative tasks.

• The easiest way to scale: With Organizations, you can easily onboard more users into your DigitalOcean environment whether they are a reseller, employee, or contractor to efficiently centralize your user management.
