The first organization will be created during the [setup wizard](docId\:MYrFSdThXLh5xQK06iK-m).

Navigate to the configuration menu and select `Organizations` under `Server settings`. This will give an overview of all the organizations. Press the `Create organization` button to create a new organization. This button will be disabled if no [license](docId\:aOXciicnAe8ZjoYBqm8ex) is available.

## Enter organization information

1. Enter a name
2. *Optionally enter a description*
3. Enter PostgreSQL user name
4. Enter PostgreSQL user password
5. Enter PostgreSQL user password confirmation
6. Select a license
7. Press Submit

### Creating an organization will also do the following:

- Add new organization-specific settings with their default values
- Creates 4 user groups with pre-defined privileges
  - Administrators: can do anything within the organization
  - Managers: can do everything needed to setup data collection
  - Collectors: group used by collectors in the organization
  - Reader: group that has the minimum required privileges to be used for authentication with the Factry Grafana data source
- Create a calculation collector
- Create an internal collector
- Create a separate event processor
- Automatically adds the user that created the organization to the organization in the Administrators group
- Automatically adds the factry-historian-reader user to the Reader group
- Create a PostgreSQL user that has access to all the event views inside the created organization
