# 1. Organisations

A Cosmocloud Organisation serves as the central framework for managing all of your projects and data, effectively organising them under a unified namespace. This facilitates streamlined access and management across your various projects.

## Creating an Organisation

When you sign up for Cosmocloud, your first step is to create an Organisation. This can be done during the sign-up process or later by visiting the organisation listing page on the Cosmocloud platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, each user is permitted to **create only one Organisation**.
{% endhint %}

Moreover, the name chosen for your Organisation must be unique across the entire Cosmocloud universe. We’ll prompt you in case you choose a name that already exists :innocent:
