39### Organization instructions
40
41Instructions that Claude follows for everyone in your organization, in every product: Claude Desktop (Chat, Cowork, and Code), the Claude Code command-line tool, and Claude for Microsoft 365. Use them for rules that should apply to every conversation, such as compliance requirements, data handling, or formatting standards. Enter the instructions as plain text.
42
43A change takes effect from each member's next message, including in conversations that are already open, and needs no application update or restart. Members do not see the instructions in their applications. Instructions set at the organization level replace the tenant's instructions for that organization rather than adding to them, so repeat anything from the tenant level that should still apply. A tenant administrator who wants the same instructions in every organization can set them at the tenant level and [lock](/docs/government/config/overview#locks) the setting.
44
45Organization instructions guide how Claude responds, and they are not an enforced restriction. To restrict what Claude can do, for example which network hosts it can reach, use **Allowed network hosts** and the other settings on this page.

47<Note>
48 **Set at the tenant and organization levels only.** This setting cannot be set for a group.

1515## The organization list

17Each organization appears with its name and ID. Clicking an organization's name opens its organization admin view. When you do this you are acting as an administrator of that organization, and you can manage its users, seats, and settings exactly as one of its own owners would.
17Each organization appears with its name and ID. Clicking an organization's name opens its organization admin view. When you do this you are acting as an Owner of that organization and can manage its users, seats, and settings. You cannot grant or remove its [Primary Owner role](/docs/government/org-admin/users#understanding-roles), which stays with that organization's own Primary Owners.

2020 Which organization a user joins isn't controlled on this page. That's set by the routing rules on the [Identity and access](/docs/government/tenant-admin/identity-and-access) page.

2525Expand the **Add organization** section to create a new organization. You'll provide the following:
2626
2727* **Name** is what the organization will be called. Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed, and the name can be up to 256 characters. There is no uniqueness requirement, so you can create two organizations with the same name, but you generally shouldn't.
28* **Primary owner email** is the email address of the person who will be the new organization's first administrator. This person becomes the Primary Owner and can immediately manage the organization's users and settings. They do **not** become a tenant administrator; tenant-level access is granted separately on the [Admins](/docs/government/tenant-admin/admins) page.

They do **not** become a tenant administrator; tenant-level access is granted separately on the [Admins](/docs/government/tenant-admin/admins) page.
2929* **Billing account** determines where the organization's credits and seats come from. Choose an existing billing account from the list; the new organization draws from that account's credit balance and seat pool alongside any other organizations already on it. Only billing accounts that are active and tenant-managed appear in the list.

from line 40
4040* Give it seats on the [Seats](/docs/government/tenant-admin/seats) page. A newly created organization starts with no seats distributed to it, so its Primary Owner has no seat tier and cannot use Claude yet. Saving the organization's first seats also seats the Primary Owner, and anyone else already in it without a seat tier, automatically.
4141* If you want to limit how much the new organization can spend from its billing account, set a spend cap on it on the [Billing](/docs/government/tenant-admin/credits) page. This is optional. With no cap, the account's balance is the only limit.

4545## Things to know
4646
47* You choose an organization's first Primary Owner when you create it. After that, only that organization's Primary Owners can grant or remove the role. If an organization no longer has a Primary Owner who can sign in, for example because that person left your agency, contact Anthropic to have a new one appointed.
4748* You cannot delete an organization from this page. If an organization is no longer needed, contact Anthropic to have it deactivated. Routing rules that target a deactivated organization stop matching, and users in a deactivated organization cannot sign in until it is reactivated or they are moved.
4849* Organization names can be changed later from the organization's own admin view.
4950* There is no fixed limit on the number of organizations you can create, but each one adds a row to your seat distribution and configuration surfaces, so create only as many as you need to keep administration manageable.

2929Apart from the optional icon, everything in an archive must be text in UTF-8. There is no way to ship a script, or any other binary asset such as an image, through the card, which is narrower than what members can add to skills on their own devices. File and folder names must be ASCII. Nothing in the archive may start with a dot apart from `.claude-plugin/` and a root `.mcp.json`: repository files such as `.github/` or `.gitattributes` must be left out, while `.gitignore` and `.DS_Store` are dropped for you.

31Paths inside the zip must use forward slashes: File Explorer's **Compress to ZIP file**, 7-Zip, `tar.exe`, PowerShell 7, and Python's `zipfile` all write them, while Windows PowerShell 5.1's `Compress-Archive` can write backslash paths, which the upload rejects. A zip that wraps everything in one top folder, which is what zipping the plugin folder or downloading a repository as a ZIP produces, works, as long as the repository holds no other dot-prefixed files. The upload looks inside the wrapper. Apple's `__MACOSX/` folders are dropped quietly too, and an archive can hold up to 50 MB of uncompressed content.

A plugin package can hold up to 50 MB of uncompressed content, whether you upload it on its own or inside a marketplace archive.

3333Inside `skills/`, each skill is one folder holding a `SKILL.md` whose frontmatter `name` matches the folder name, with any reference files beside it. A bare skill archive, such as a zip of just the skill folder or a `.skill` file from Claude Desktop, is not a plugin: add the manifest and move the folder under `skills/` to convert it. For the path from writing a skill to delivering it, see [Building and deploying your own skills](/docs/government/desktop/skills#building-and-deploying-your-own-skills).

3333* An **Owner** can access this organization admin portal and perform every action described in this guide except for granting or removing the Primary Owner role.
3434* A **Primary Owner** has the same access as an Owner and is additionally protected so that an organization can never be left without one. Only a Primary Owner can promote another user to Primary Owner or demote an existing one.
3535
36An organization must always have at least one active Primary Owner and may have up to three. Keeping more than one is recommended so that you are never locked out if a single Primary Owner is unavailable.
36An organization must always have at least one active Primary Owner and may have up to three. Keep at least two so that when one leaves your agency or loses account access, a remaining Primary Owner can promote a replacement and demote the person who left.
37
38If your organization no longer has a Primary Owner who can sign in, contact Anthropic to have a new one appointed. A tenant administrator cannot grant the role for you, because opening your organization from the tenant portal gives them Owner access only. Until the new Primary Owner is in place, your Owners and tenant administrators can keep managing users, seats, and settings.
