Learn how to onboard your organization using Docker Hub or the Docker Admin Console.

Onboarding your organization lets administrators gain visibility into user activity and enforce security settings. In addition, members of your organization receive increased pull limits and other organization wide benefits. For more details, see [Docker subscriptions and features](../../subscription/details.md).

In this guide, you'll learn how to do the following:

- Identify your users to help you efficiently allocate your subscription seats
- Invite members and owners to your organization
- Secure authentication and authorization for your organization using Single Sign-On (SSO) and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)
- Enforce sign-on for Docker Desktop to ensure security best practices

## Prerequisites

Before you start onboarding your organization, ensure that you:

- Have a Docker Team or Business subscription. See [Docker Pricing](https://www.docker.com/pricing/) for details.

  > [!NOTE]
  >
  > When purchasing a self-serve subscription, the on-screen instructions guide you through creating an organization. If you have purchased a subscription through Docker Sales and you have not yet created an organization, see [Create an organization](/admin/organization/orgs).

- Familiarize yourself with Docker concepts and terminology in the [administration overview](../_index.md) and [FAQs](/faq/admin/general-faqs/).

## Onboard with guided setup

The Admin Console has a guided setup to help you easily
onboard your organization. The guided setup steps consist of basic onboarding
tasks. If you want to onboard outside of the guided setup,
see [Recommended onboarding steps](/manuals/admin/organization/onboard.md#recommended-onboarding-steps).

To onboard using the guided setup,
navigate to the [Admin Console](https://app.docker.com) and
select **Guided setup** in the left-hand navigation.

The guided setup walks you through the following onboarding steps:

- **Invite your team**: Invite owners and members.
- **Manage user access**: Add and verify a domain, manage users with SSO, and
enforce Docker Desktop sign-in.
- **Docker Desktop security**: Configure image access management, registry access
management, and settings management.

## Recommended onboarding steps

### Step one: Identify your Docker users

Identifying your users helps you allocate seats efficiently and ensures they
receive your Docker subscription benefits.

1. Identify the Docker users in your organization.
   - If your organization uses device management software, like MDM or Jamf, you can use the device management software to help identify Docker users. See your device management software's documentation for details. You can identify Docker users by checking if Docker Desktop is installed at the following location on each user's machine:
      - Mac: `/Applications/Docker.app`
      - Windows: `C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker`
      - Linux: `/opt/docker-desktop`
   - If your organization doesn't use device management software or your users haven't installed Docker Desktop yet, you can survey your users.
2. Ask users to update their Docker account email to one in your organization’s domain, or create a new account with that email.
   - To update an account's email address, instruct your users to sign in to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com), and update the email address to their email address in your organization's domain.
   - To create a new account, instruct your users to go [sign up](https://hub.docker.com/signup) using their email address in your organization's domain.
3. Ask your Docker sales representative or [contact sales](https://www.docker.com/pricing/contact-sales/) to get a list of Docker accounts that use an email address in your organization's domain.
