Set up a company

Table of contents
Subscription: Business
For: Administrators

When you set up a company in Docker Home, you create the company, then add owners, invite members, and add more organizations as needed. You must be the owner of the organization you want to add to your company.

Create a company

When you create the company, the organization you selected is automatically migrated to the new company. The name for your company can't be the same as an existing user, organization, or company namespace.

To create a new company:

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select the organization you want to add to your company.
  2. Select Organization settings.
  3. Select Create a company.
  4. Enter a unique name for your company, then select Continue.
  5. Review the migration details and then select Create company.

For more information on how you can add more organizations to your company, see Add more organizations.

Company owners

A company can have multiple owners who manage the company and all of its organizations. A company can have up to 10 owners. For details about the company owner role and how it affects seats, see Company structure.

Add a company owner

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Company owners, then select Add owner.
  3. Specify the member's Docker ID, then select Add company owner.

Add owner is unavailable when the company already has 10 owners.

Remove a company owner

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Company owners.
  3. Find the company owner you want to remove and select the Actions menu, then select Remove as company owner.

Company invitations

You add a member to your company by inviting them to an organization within the company. Company owners can invite members to any organization in the company using a Docker ID, email address, or in bulk with a CSV file of email addresses.

Members and invitations belong to individual organizations, not to the company itself. A pending invitation occupies a seat until the invitee accepts.

Invite members to an organization

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Users, then select Invite.
  3. Add the invitees in one of these ways:
    • Emails or usernames. Select Emails or usernames. Enter the Docker IDs or email addresses of the invitees. Select an organization for each invitee.
    • CSV upload. Select CSV upload. Upload a CSV file of email addresses. Select an organization for the invitees.

Invitees receive an email with instructions to accept. After they accept, new members appear on the Users page. The table shows how many organizations each member belongs to.

Resend invitations

Company owners can resend invitations from the company-level Users page.

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Users.
  3. Resend one invitation, or resend several:
    • One invitee. Locate the invitee in the table. Select the Actions menu, then select Resend. Before resending, confirm you selected the correct invitee. The resend invitation modal displays the date you originally invited the invitee. Select Invite to confirm.
    • Several invitees. Select the checkboxes next to the invitees. Select Resend invites, then select Resend to confirm.

Cancel an invitation

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Users.
  3. Find the invitee and select the Actions menu, then select Remove.
  4. Complete the removal in one of these ways:
    • One organization. Select Remove.
    • Several organizations. Select the organizations, then select Remove.

Removing an invitee cancels the pending invitation.

Add more organizations

Company owners can add a Docker Business organization when they are also an owner of that organization. There's no limit to the number of organizations you add to a company.

  1. Sign in to Docker Home and select your company.
  2. Select Managed organizations.
  3. Select Add organization, then select an organization from the drop-down list.

A nested organization must keep its Docker Business subscription to stay managed by the company. If an organization downgrades from Docker Business, you can no longer manage it through the company, and its owner must manage it separately.

Add seats to an organization

If you have a self-serve subscription that has no pending subscription changes, you can add seats using Docker Home. For more information about adding seats, see Manage seats.

If you have a sales-assisted subscription, you must contact Docker support or sales to add seats.
