Organizations allow you to manage your Platform.sh projects, users, and billing. You can group multiple projects in one organization and manage them together.
To manage users within your organization, see how to manage organization users.

As an organization owner, you can delete your own organization.

- Navigate to your existing organization or a project in it.

You can transfer your plan ownership to a different organization at anytime. You have to be an organization owner or have the manage plan permission.
- Make the new organization owner a project admin for the project you want to transfer.
- To ask for the transfer, from your organization account open a support ticket.
Once the transfer is completed, the new organization can administer all project settings and billing and receives future invoices. Ownership transfer automatically transfers subscription charges to the new organization.
Transfer organization ownership
To transfer an organization to a different owner, first make sure that user is part of the organization. If they aren’t yet, add them. Then open a support ticket from the current organization to ask for the transfer.
Fixed and Flex organizations
What is a Upsun Fixed organization?
Ideal for workloads that have consistent resource requirements with stable and predictable usage. Users can select a plan with predefined CPU and Memory resources. You can not adjust these resources, nor scale them automatically. To increase capacity, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher plan.
Fixed resources
Fixed: Resource from the plan is applied to the production environment. For preview, the user has the default small size for all containers.
What is a Upsun Flex organization?
Ideal for workloads that evolve over time or have dynamic resource requirements. Flex will suit most use cases. Users will be able to allocate the exact CPU and Memory resources that your applications and services need. You can adjust these resources at any time, or configure them to adapt automatically. You are charged based on the resources you allocate.
Flex resources
Flex: Users can customize resources per container (per app or service) for all environments.
What can you do?
When creating a new organization, users will be able to select the organization type from a drop-down option based on their preference. Once the organization is created, users can manage their organizations like they do today.
