Create an Atlassian organization

You can create an Atlassian organization by signing up for a new Atlassian app or creating an organization without apps.

Sign up for an app

We offer free trials for many of our apps, such as Jira and Confluence. When you sign up for one of these apps for the first time, you also create a site and organization for that app.

To sign up for an app:

1. Go to www.atlassian.com.

2. Find the app you’re interested in and select Try cloud or Try now. We may ask you if you want to select another app. After you decide whether or not to do that, select Next.

3. Enter the email address you’re going to use to log in to this app. If you already have an Atlassian account, we recommend you use that email address. If you enter an email address not associated with an Atlassian account, we’ll help you create an account.

4. If your account already has access to other instances of this app, we show you a list of those apps, in case you intended to log in to an existing app instead of signing up for a new app. To continue signing up for a new app, select start a new site and follow the prompts. We’ll ask you to enter a name for your site, which becomes the subdomain in the URL for this app.

5. Select Continue and follow the prompts to set up your app.

Once you finish setting up the app, you can navigate to Atlassian Administration to access your organization settings. You can invite users to your app in Atlassian Administration or from the app.

Create an organization without apps

Occasionally, you may need to create an organization without any apps. For example, some Bitbucket and Trello customers don’t have Atlassian organizations, but may want to create an Atlassian organization to manage Atlassian accounts.

When you create an organization without apps, we guide you to start a free trial of Atlassian Guard Standard.

To create an organization without apps:

1. Go to https://admin.atlassian.com/o/create.

2. Enter a name for your organization and select Create.

3. From the Atlassian Guard Standard screen, select Start your 30-day free trial.

Once you create your organization, you can proceed to verify ownership of your company’s domains. If you want to add apps later, you can add apps to your organization.

Rename your organization

Organization admins can rename an organization if needed. This won’t change the organization’s org ID.

To rename an organization:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Select Settings > Details.

3. In the Change organization name section, enter a new name.

4. Select Save.
