# django-organizations — Group accounts for Django

## What it is and what it does

Django Organizations is a Django app that decouples user identity from organizational membership and account structures. It provides three core models—Organization, OrganizationUser, and OrganizationOwner—that let you build multi-user groups, team accounts, and subscription-based structures on top of Django's built-in user model without replacing it. Users can belong to and own multiple organizations simultaneously.

The package includes ready-to-use views, URL routing, and invitation/registration backends that work for common scenarios and can be extended for custom requirements. It works with both django.contrib.auth and custom user models, requires only django and django-extensions as runtime dependencies, and is designed to be backend-agnostic for authentication, registration, and messaging. The codebase is actively maintained, tested against current Django and Python versions, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

- Build a SaaS platform where each customer is an organization with multiple team members and subscription management.
- Add team/group functionality to an existing Django app so users can collaborate within named groups.
- Implement role-based access control where users have different permissions within each organization they belong to.
- Create a multi-tenant application where organizations are isolated business units with their own members and settings.
- Set up invitation workflows so organization owners can add team members without manual user account creation.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Adds multi-user group and account management to Django, letting you separate individual user identity from organizations, subscriptions, and team structures.

Yes. Django Organizations is a mature, actively maintained library (Production/Stable status, 1363 GitHub stars, released 42 days ago) that solves a common Django problem—multi-user groups and account separation—with low install friction and no security vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to add team or subscription account structures to a Django project and want a tested, extensible foundation rather than building from scratch.

## Install

pip install django-organizations
uv add django-organizations
poetry add django-organizations

## Installing django-organizations

Before you install: Low install friction; ships as a pure Python wheel. Requires django and django-extensions as runtime dependencies. Actively maintained with a recent release (42 days old) and passing tests against Django 4.2, 5.2, and 6.0 across Python 3.10–3.14.

License in practice: BSD License (permissive). You may use, modify, and distribute this package freely in commercial and private projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install django-organizations

# In Django settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'organizations',
]

# In urls.py
from organizations.backends import invitation_backend
urlpatterns = [
    path('accounts/', include('organizations.urls')),
    path('invitations/', include(invitation_backend().get_urls())),
]

# In code
from organizations.utils import create_organization
org = create_organization(user, "My Org")
org.is_member(user)  # True

Requires Django 4.2+ and Python 3.10+. By default uses django-extensions for AutoSlugField; you must install django-extensions or configure an alternative slug field provider.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the invitation and registration backends work out-of-the-box for your specific authentication setup without customization.
- Performance characteristics when managing organizations with large numbers of users or complex permission hierarchies.
