# Onboarding a new organization

To perform this procedure, you must be an admin of your enterprise.

To onboard a new organization to your enterprise.

1. Create your organization in SonarQube Cloud by importing the DevOps platform organization and select the Free plan. See:
   * [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)
2. Add the organization to the enterprise:
   * Retrieve your enterprise. See [Retrieving and viewing your enterprise](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-enterprise/retrieving-and-viewing-your-enterprise.md) for more details.
   * Go to **Administration** > **Organizations** and select **Add organization**.

3. Optionally, allocate an individual LOC limit to the organization. See [Managing the lines of code within your enterprise](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-enterprise/managing-the-lines-of-code-within-your-enterprise.md#allocating-loc-limit).
4. Manage the organization's user groups (see [Managing user groups](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/users-and-permissions/user-groups.md) for more details):
   * In an SSO-enabled enterprise:
     * With SCIM provisioning: [Map the SCIM groups](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/set-up-scim.md#map-groups) to the new organization.
     * Without SCIM: Define the user groups in your organization as described in [Complete SSO setup](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/enterprise-security/sso-and-provisioning/complete-setup.md#if-using-jit).
   * If you don't use SSO in your enterprise:
     * Define the users and/or 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.
5. Set analysis configurations at the organization level. See [Performing global analysis setup](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-organization/setting-config-at-org-level.md).
6. Authorized organization members can now create projects or portfolios.
