Organizations
An organization groups users who belong to the same company, and it is how you link a single license to multiple users. You assign the license to the organization, and its admin (a user with the organization-admin role) distributes access through user groups from the customer portal. This lets you sell to a company rather than a single user, while the organization admin manages license distribution instead.

Storing your own data on organizations
You can store your own data on organizations, such as their address and other company details, with organization custom attributes. Your app can read the attributes of the license's organization. You choose whether organization admins and resellers can also see them; individual users never do.
