[!INCLUDE version-lt-eq-azure-devops]
::: moniker range="= azure-devops"
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.
