Organizations

Daytona provides organizations as a way to group resources and enable collaboration. Users can work individually in their personal organization or together in a collaborative organization.

Go to Daytona Dashboard ↗ to manage your organizations, or use the API to manage them programmatically.

Personal vs Collaborative

Every Daytona user starts with a personal organization, ideal for solo use and experimentation. Collaborative organizations are created manually and designed for company-wide collaboration with shared access and controls.

Feature	Personal organization	Collaborative organization
Creation	Automatic on signup	Manually by a user
Members	Single user only	Multiple users (invite-based)
Access Control	No roles or permissions	Roles with granular resource-based assignments
Billing	Tied to individual user	Shared across team members
Use Case	Personal testing, small projects	Company/team development and production
Quota Scope	Per user	Shared across all members
Deletable	No	Yes (by Owner)

Users can switch between their personal and collaborative organizations by using the dropdown in the Daytona Dashboard ↗ sidebar. Each organization has its own sandboxes, API keys, and resource quotas.
