Viewing organizations¶

To view your organizations:

1. Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.

2. In the top menu, click Manage.

   The system displays the My Organizations page. This page lists information cards with each card containing details about all the organizations in which you have a role. Based on your role in the organization, the card displays the organization’s owner and administrators. However, if you are associated with a single organization, the system does not display the My Organizations page and instead redirects you to the Overview page for the specific organization. You can view your details along with information about the administrators, members, teams, and applications in the organization.

   • If you are the Owner or an Administrator of the organization, the card displays the number of teams, roles, and subscriptions in the organization.

     

   • If you are not the Owner or an Administrator of the organization, the card displays the name of the owner and administrators of the organization that you are a part of.

     

If you are the Owner or an Administrator, or have the administer team permission (which by default a Team lead has), you can use the links at the bottom of the information card to invite a member to a team or remove a member from teams. For more information, see Managing team members.

To view more details about the organization, including the organization’s teams, team members, and applications, click the organization name or the Manage button at the bottom of the card.

Organization roles and actions¶

Each organization has a single Owner and one or more Administrators. The Owner and Administrators have all permissions relating to every application under the organization. They can also give other users the Administrator role.

The following table describes different actions Owners and Administrators can take with organizations:

Transferring ownership of an organization¶

An organization’s Owner can only transfer ownership to one of the organization’s Administrators.

To transfer ownership:

1. Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface as a user with the Owner role.
2. In the top menu, click Manage.
3. On the Organizations page, select your organization.
4. Click Actions.
5. Click Transfer Ownership from the dropdown menu.
6. In the New owner list, click the Administrator you want to be the new organization Owner.
7. Click Continue.

Transferring ownership from an unavailable owner¶

If the Owner of your organization leaves without first transferring ownership of the organization and its applications to another user account, depending on your subscription level, complete the following steps to transfer ownership to another user account:

• Cloud Platform Enterprise and Site Factory subscriptions: create a Support ticket. For security purposes, Acquia Support does not transfer ownership of an account without the approval of your Account Manager.
• All other subscription types: A user account assigned to the Administrator role must create a Support ticket. For security purposes, Acquia Support works with existing members of your team to determine if the request is legitimate. To transfer a subscription paid for by credit card, the new owner must have a valid credit card associated with their Cloud Platform account. For information about how to update the credit card for an account, see My credit card information changed. How do I change my billing information?.

For more information about securing your Cloud Platform subscription from users who previously owned your organization, see Best practices for team member departures.

Account owners can remove organizations without any associated active subscriptions.

To remove an organization:

1. Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface as a user with the Owner role.
2. In the top menu, click Manage.
3. On the Organizations page, select your organization.

4. Click Remove.

   The system removes the organization.
