Find and join a Console organization (original) (raw)

Organization discovery lets you find and join your company’s existing Console organization when you start the sign-up flow with a business email address. Instead of creating a personal account, you can request to join—or be added automatically—depending on your organization’s configuration.

Admin setup

Enable discoverability

Admins can manage organization discovery from identity and access settings.

To enable discoverability:

Configure allowed domains

Admins can specify which email domains are allowed to discover and join the organization by clicking “Add domain” under Domains on the identity and access settings page. The organization owner’s domain appears on the Domains list automatically. Admins can configure additional allowed domains by adding them to the list, verifying them, and toggling Discoverable on. Personal email domains (like Gmail) and .edu domains can’t be added to the list.

Choose an approval mode

Admins select how join requests are handled:

How to find and join an organization

When someone signs up for the Console with a business email address that matches a discoverable organization, they’ll see the option to join during the signup flow. They can choose to join or continue with a personal account.

If multiple organizations share the same email domain and are all discoverable, the requester sees all of them and can choose which one to join.

Other ways to join an organization

In addition to organization discovery, there are a few other ways to join a Console organization:

SSO and organization discovery

Organization discovery isn’t available for Console organizations with single sign-on enabled. If your organization uses SSO, the feature doesn’t apply—your existing provisioning settings (including any just-in-time provisioning) remain unchanged. To enable organization discovery, SSO must be turned off first.
