Hello. Could anyone say if it is necessary to have an officially registered organization to create an organization account? For example, can our team create an organization account taking into consideration that we are NOT an organization we are simply a group of developers who work together?

Hi @Stefman87 ,

You don’t need to be an officially registered organization to set up an organization account. I successfully created one yesterday (I was just testing things out). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Best,
Adrian

Yes, I can create an organization account too. The question is if it won't be deleted/blocked/banned in the future because the created account doesn't belong to a real organization.

I think you'll be fine if you don't use it for any harmful purposes. That's what organizations are for - to start small and see where it takes you. Who knows, you might just end up with a big one in the end and then you might need to register it! :)

It is not required.
