# Creating an organization in SourceCraft

<!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/org-description.md -->
An _organization_ is a user space in SourceCraft.

When a user [signs up](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/registration.md) in SourceCraft, this automatically creates a _personal organization_ and [cloud](https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy#cloud) in Yandex Cloud. A personal organization can be distinguished by `Personal Organization (SourceCraft)` in its name and `Created by SourceCraft` in its description.

Organizations do not interact with each other. Resources belonging to an organization cannot access another organization’s resources.

If you already have a [Yandex Cloud organization](https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/billing/concepts/organization), you can use it in SourceCraft.

If you have none, an organization will be automatically created for you to work with SourceCraft.

To authorize corporate accounts in SourceCraft using single sign-on (SSO), you can use Yandex Cloud [SAML-compatiable identity federations](https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/organization/concepts/add-federation).
