# [Organization] - About Organizations

This page explains what Organizations are in Contentstack, how they fit into the entity hierarchy, and what administrators can do with them. It is intended for administrators (Owners/Admins) and developers who need to understand where users, stacks, and related resources are managed, and when to use Organization Settings.

## About Organizations

Organizations form the highest tier in Contentstack's entity hierarchy. [Users](/docs/developers/invite-users-and-assign-roles/about-stack-users), [stacks](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack), and all associated resources reside within an Organization. This centralized structure allows management of users and stacks through a single administrative panel.

The Organization feature is primarily for administrators ([Owner](/docs/developers/organization/organization-roles#organization-owner) and [Admins](/docs/developers/organization/organization-roles#organization-admin)), allowing them to manage roles and permissions for the users and stacks of the account.

Organizations serve two main purposes:
- Simplify the process of managing stacks and permissions for a group of users or a company
- View consolidated subscription plan and usage information

If you have required rights, you can access the [Organization Settings](/docs/developers/organization/organization-settings-overview) to learn about Organization, users associated with it, and more.
