Setting up your enterprise

This page explains how to set up your SonarQube Cloud Enterprise as part of the Getting started with Enterprise.

With the Enterprise license, you can group together SonarQube Cloud organizations from different DevOps platforms into an enterprise and benefit from many features.

This page explains how to set up your enterprise from scratch.

Step 1: Prepare the enterprise onboarding

Prepare the organizations to be added

You must add at least one organization to be able to complete your enterprise setup. You can add any existing organization you’re an admin of. Once an organization is added to your enterprise, it’s assigned the Enterprise plan.

To create a new organization to be added to your enterprise, import the DevOps platform organization and select the Free plan (Note that you can create your first mandatory organization directly in Step 2 described below). See:

Request a license

Contact our team to request an Enterprise license. Provide the maximum number of Lines of Code (LOC) you want to have in your enterprise. For more information, see LOC-based pricing for more information.

Step 2: Create the SonarQube Cloud enterprise

You must be an admin of the organization you wish to add to the enterprise. Once you’ve created the enterprise, you become an enterprise admin automatically.

To create your enterprise:

1. Log in to SonarQube Cloud with your organization’s admin account.

2. Select the + icon in the top right corner of SonarQube Cloud UI and select Create new enterprise in the menu. The Create an enterprise page opens.

Create your SonarQube Cloud Enterprise by adding your License key and existing Organizations.

3. In License key, enter the key you received from Sonar.

4. Enter the name and key of your enterprise.

5. In Add organization, select the first organization to be added to your enterprise to complete the setup.

6. Select the Create enterprise button. The enterprise is created.

7. To add other organizations, select the Add organization button.

It's easy to add Organizations to your Enterprise; simply select the Add organization button.

Step 3: Set the enterprise permissions of users

As an enterprise admin, you can grant the Administer Enterprise and Create portfolios permissions. For more information, see Managing your enterprise.

To set the enterprise-related permissions of users select your enterprise from the Account > My Enterprise menu in the top right corner of the page. Then:

  1. Go to Administration > Enterprise Permissions.

  2. If necessary, filter the list of users.

  3. For each user, select or unselect the permissions in the table.

When administering your Enterprise, it's possible to filter users by their assigned roles and allocate privileges accordingly.

Step 4: Complete the enterprise onboarding

For each organization in your enterprise:

  • If not already done, verify the group's default permissions on new projects. See Using permission templates for more information.

  • You can set project configurations at the organization level. See Introduction to Performing global analysis setup for more details.

By default, all organizations share the enterprise LOC limit. You can allocate an individual LOC limit to one or several organizations within your enterprise: see Managing the lines of code within your enterprise.

If you want to transition your enterprise to SSO, see Setting up SSO for more information.
