Organizations

Organizations offer centralized control and billing at the company level. Organizations provide your company with the ability to own all employee data, enforce security requirements, integrate with your SSO provider, and transfer data to managers when employees leave your company. TEST

Organizations contain users and users can optionally be grouped into teams. Teams are primarily designed for easy collaboration and content sharing. For example, you might create a team that contains everyone on the Customer Success team, and set the manager of that team as the team admin. The manager can then define & manage the Customer Success team's shared content.

Small team? Don't create an organization
If you only want centralized billing for a single group of users, and don't need advanced features like multiple teams and SSO, you may not need an organization. Keep things simple by just creating a team. You can always create an organization later if you outgrow the single team.
