Learn what an organization is in Vultr IAM and why it is required. Organizations serve as the top-level boundary for users, groups, roles, and resource access.
An organization is the top-level container in Vultr IAM that groups your account, users, billing, and resources under a single administrative entity. IAM is architected to operate at the organization level. The reason IAM requires an organization is structural. IAM needs a defined boundary within which to enforce access control. The organization is that boundary. All permission policies, roles, groups, and user assignments are scoped to an organization, ensuring that access control is centrally governed and that there is no ambiguity about which resources and users a given policy applies to.
Every Vultr account is either already associated with an organization or will have one automatically created during the IAM rollout. If your account predates the IAM rollout, Vultr creates an organization for you as part of the background migration. Your existing billing, subscriptions, and user access remain entirely unchanged. The account owner (root user) is automatically designated as the Organization Owner and retains full, unconditional access to all resources and IAM configurations within the organization regardless of what policies are in place.
Your root (owner) access applies only to the organization you own. In organizations where you are an invited user, your access is determined entirely by the permission policies and roles assigned to you by that organization's administrator.
