# Organization setup overview

For the Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication, see [Managing your enterprise](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-enterprise.md).

To set up a new organization in SonarQube Cloud:

1. Select the [Subscription plans](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans.md) you want to assign to your new SonarQube Cloud organization.
2. Import your DevOps platform organization (or workspace, group, etc.). The corresponding SonarQube Cloud organization is automatically created and is bound to the DevOps platform organization, see [Binding with the DevOps platform](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/resources-structure/binding-with-dop.md). You’re granted Administer permission on the new organization.\
   Refer to:
   * [Importing GitHub organization](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-github-organization.md)
   * [Importing Bitbucket workspace](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-bitbucket-workspace.md)
   * [Importing GitLab group](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-gitlab-group.md)
   * [Importing Azure DevOps organization](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/importing-azure-devops-organization.md)
3. Set project configuration at the organization level. See [Introduction](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/setting-config-at-org-level/introduction.md) to Performing global analysis setup.
4. Invite your DevOps platform organization users to sign up for SonarQube Cloud. Their SonarQube Cloud account will be automatically created.
5. If you use a GitHub platform with automatic member synchronization, the organization members are automatically synchronized in SonarQube Cloud. Otherwise, you must add the SonarQube Cloud users to your organization manually. See [Adding organization members](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/users-and-permissions/organization-members.md) for more information.
6. Manage the permissions of the users and groups. In particular:
   * Create the user groups in your organization (only if you don’t use SSO with auto-provisioning). See [Managing user groups](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/users-and-permissions/user-groups.md) for more details.
   * Define the users and groups that can create projects in the organization. See [Managing organization permissions](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/users-and-permissions/organization-permissions.md) for more information.
   * Verify the default permissions on new projects. See [Using permission templates](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/manage-org-projects/manage-project-permissions/templates.md) for more details.
7. Authorized organization members can now create projects. See [Creating your project](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/administering-your-projects/setting-up-project.md) for more information.
8. Set up a dedicated [Security contact](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/creating-organization/security-contact.md) for urgent, security-related communications.
