You can manage subscriptions and related billing details at the organization level. ### Some of my organizations don’t have a Docker Business subscription. Can I still use a parent company? Yes, but you can only add organizations with a Docker Business subscription to a company. ### What happens if one of my organizations downgrades from Docker Business, but I still need access as a company owner? To access and manage child organizations, the organization must have a Docker Business subscription. If the organization isn’t included in this subscription, the owner of the organization must manage the organization outside of the company. ### Does my organization need to prepare for downtime during the migration process? No, you can continue with business as usual. ### How many company owners can I add? You can add a maximum of 10 company owners to a single company account. ### Do company owners occupy a subscription seat? Company owners do not occupy a seat unless one of the following is true: - They are added as a member of an organization under your company - SSO is enabled Although company owners have the same access as organization owners across all organizations in the company, it's not necessary to add them to any organization. Doing so will cause them to occupy a seat. When you first create a company, your account is both a company owner and an organization owner. In that case, your account will occupy a seat as long as you remain an organization owner. To avoid occupying a seat, [assign another user as the organization owner](/manuals/admin/organization/members.md#update-a-member-role) and remove yourself from the organization. You'll retain full administrative access as a company owner without using a subscription seat. ### What permissions does the company owner have in the associated/nested organizations?
