Organizations in Anaconda.org help you manage package access and collaboration through group-based permissions. When you create an organization, a dedicated channel is also created for storing and distributing your organization's packages. Control who can access the channel by adding users to the channel's [group](/tools/anaconda-org/admin-guide/groups).

<Tip>
  View an organization's channel by navigating to `anaconda.org/channels/<ORGANIZATION>`, where `<ORGANIZATION>` is the name of the organization.
</Tip>

## Creating an organization

As the creator and owner of an organization, you have automatic administrative access to this organization and any packages associated with the organization.

You can view your organizations by clicking your profile in the top-right corner and selecting **Profile** in the dropdown.

To create an organization:

1. Log in to Anaconda.org.

2. From your profile in the top-right corner, select **New Organization**, and then scroll to the bottom of the page.

3. Enter an organization name.

   <Note>
     Organization names cannot include spaces or special characters.
   </Note>

4. Enter an email address, then click **Create Organization**. The system displays the dashboard for the new organization.

## Deleting an organization

To delete an organization you administer and erase all data associated with it:

1. From your profile in the top-right corner, select **Switch to…**.
2. Select the organization you want to delete.
3. From your profile, select **Settings**.
4. Click **My Account** in the left-hand menu. You might be asked to verify your password.
5. In the **Delete Account** section, click **Delete**.
6. Enter the full name of the organization on the confirmation page that appears, then click **Delete Account**.

### Uploading packages to an organization from the command line

To upload a package to an organization, open [Anaconda Prompt](/reference/glossary#anaconda-prompt) (Terminal on macOS/Linux) and run the following command:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda upload --user <ORGANIZATION> <PACKAGE_FILE>
```

<Comments>
  Replace \<ORGANIZATION> with your organization name.<br />
  Replace \<PACKAGE\_FILE> with the name of the package.
</Comments>

<Note>
  Only the co-owners of an organization may upload packages to the organization.
