Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the `influx` command line interface (CLI)
|
|
to create an organization.
|
|
|
|
{{% cloud %}}
|
|
You cannot currently create additional organizations in {{< cloud-name >}}.
|
|
Only the default organization is available.
|
|
{{% /cloud %}}
|
|
|
|
## Create an organization in the InfluxDB UI
|
|
|
|
1. In the navigation menu on the left, click the **Account dropdown**.
|
|
|
|
{{< nav-icon "account" >}}
|
|
|
|
2. Select **Create Organization**.
|
|
3. In the window that appears, enter an **Organization Name** and **Bucket Name** and click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
## Create an organization using the influx CLI
|
|
|
|
Use the [`influx org create` command](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/org/create)
|
|
to create a new organization. A new organization requires the following:
|
|
|
|
- A name for the organization
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Syntax
|
|
influx org create -n <org-name>
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx org create -n my-org
|
|
```
