Create an organization
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2020 | Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018
Use an organization to connect groups of related projects, and help to scale up your enterprise. You can use a personal Microsoft account, GitHub account, or a work or school account. Use your work or school account to automatically connect your organization to your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Note
All organizations must be manually created via the web portal. We don't support automated creation of organizations. We do support automated organization configuration, project creation, and resource provisioning via REST API.
Prerequisites
- Understand how to plan your organizational structure.
- Determine whether you want to use only Microsoft accounts or authenticate users with Azure AD. For more information, see Choosing your organization administrator account type.
Important
Currently, you can only use letters from the English alphabet in your organization name. Start organization names with a letter or number, followed by letters, numbers or hyphens, and they must end with a letter or number.

Create a project collection
A project collection is a container of projects. By grouping projects together, you can manage projects more efficiently and assign the same resources to those projects.
For more information about how to create a project collection, see Create a project collection.
