Managing organization permissions
This section explains how to manage the permissions related to your SonarQube Cloud organization.
This section explains how to manage the user and group permissions related to an organization.
It’s recommended to manage the permissions through the user groups, see Managing user groups. This feature is available starting in Team plan. In addition, with the Team plan, you can manage the permissions set by default to new projects, see Using permission templates.
If you lost administrator access to your organization, send a request to [email protected] with all the necessary details.
Permissions related to an organization
Execute analysis
Can start an analysis on every project in the organization. This includes the ability to get all settings required to perform an analysis (including secured settings like passwords) and to push analysis results to the SonarQube Cloud server.
Administer Quality Gates
Can create and update Quality gates that can be applied to the organization’s projects.
Administer Quality Profiles
Can create and update quality profiles that can be applied to the organization’s projects. See Managing quality profiles for more details.
Create Projects
Can create new projects in the organization.
Administer Organization
Has full control over the organization.
View access to organizations is not managed through permissions but depends on the organization’s subscription plan: any user can view a free plan organization whereas access to a Team or Enterprise plan organization is restricted to its members. See Subscription plans for more information.
Setting the permissions of the groups and users
You must be an organization admin to be able to manage the permissions related to your organization.
If you have a Free plan organization, you cannot change group permissions.
To set the organization-related permissions of the groups and users:
Retrieve your organization. See Retrieving your organizations for more information.
Go to Permissions.
Select All, Users, or Groups to filter the results, or search for specific users or groups.
Apply permissions for users or groups by checking the boxes in the appropriate columns. The permission options are: Administer Organization, Administer Quality Gate, Administer Quality Profile, Execute Analysis, Create Projects.

Transferring ownership of an organization
As the administrator, there may be cases where you wish to transfer ownership of an organization. For example, if you are leaving a team or company, you can simply grant the Administer Organization permission to another member.
