# Organization FAQs

### 

## What are organizations and how should they be used in relation to groups?

[Organizations](/v1/docs/organizations) provide a way to associate users with entities that are different from the account. If you need to record the contact information (e.g., address, phone number, etc...) for an entity, you'll want to create an organization.

For example, suppose you offer courses to members of various professional associations. You could [create an organization](/v1/docs/adding-an-organization) for each association. As you [add users](/v1/docs/adding-a-user-manually), you can [associate the users with the organization](/v1/docs/user-profile-information#organization) to which they belong.

Suppose that these users, regardless of the association to which they belong, have access to the same courses. The [users could be added to a group](/v1/docs/user-group-permissions) named *Members*. You would then [assign the courses](/v1/docs/group-courses), [subscriptions](/v1/docs/group-subscriptions), or [learning plans](/v1/docs/group-learning-plans) to the *Members* group.

Organizations can NOT be used to control access to courses, subscriptions, or learning plans. To control which courses, subscriptions, or learning plans users in the entity have access to, you'll want to [create a group](/v1/docs/adding-a-group).

SmarterU's Enrollment Report enables you to filter the results by group and organization. This allows you to run the Enrollment Report for users in your *Members* group, or for users in a particular organization.

## Can I assign users to more than one organization?

Each user may only be associated with one organization.
