Setting up your SonarQube Cloud organization

The procedure below explains how to set up a SonarQube Cloud organization when your system uses DOP (DevOps platform) authentication. For SAML SSO authentication, see Onboarding a new organization on a SAML-SSO-enabled enterprise.

To set up a new organization in SonarQube Cloud:

1. Select the subscription plan 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). You’re granted Administer permission on the new organization.
   To import, see:
   • Importing a GitHub organization
   • Importing a Bitbucket Cloud workspace
   • Importing a GitLab group 
   • Importing an Azure DevOps organization 
3. Set project configurations at the organization level.
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.
6. Manage the permissions of the users and groups. In particular:
   • Create the user groups in your organization.
   • Define the users and groups that can create projects in the organization.
   • Verify the default permissions on new projects.
7. Authorized organization members can now create projects.
