More FAQs on Docker Organizations: Email Domains, Account Conversion, License Limits, and Merging

- Administrators can enforce features like [Image Access Management](/manuals/security/for-admins/hardened-desktop/image-access-management.md) and [Registry Access Management](../../security/for-admins/hardened-desktop/registry-access-management.md). - Administrators can ensure compliance by blocking Docker Desktop usage for users who don't sign in as members of the organization. ### If a user has their personal email associated with a user account in Docker Hub, do they have to convert to using the organization's domain before they can be invited to join an organization? Yes. When SSO is enabled for your organization, each user must sign in with the company’s domain. However, the user can retain their personal credentials and create a new Docker ID associated with their organization's domain. ### Can I convert my personal user account (Docker ID) to an organization account? Yes. You can convert your user account to an organization account. Once you convert a user account into an organization, it's not possible to revert it to a personal user account. For prerequisites and instructions, see [Convert an account into an organization](convert-account.md). ### Our users create Docker Hub accounts through self-service. How do we know when the total number of users for the requested licenses has been met? Is it possible to add more members to the organization than the total number of licenses? There isn't any automatic notification when the total number of users for the requested licenses has been met. However, if the number of team members exceed the number of licenses, you will receive an error informing you to contact the administrator due to lack of seats. You can [add seats](../../subscription/manage-seats.md) if needed. ### How can I merge organization accounts? You can downgrade a secondary organization and transition your users and data to a primary organization. See [Merge organizations](../organization/orgs.md#merge-organizations). ### Do organization invitees take up seats? Yes. A user invited to an organization will take up one of the provisioned seats, even if that user hasn’t accepted their invitation yet. Organization
