# Creating an organization

[_Organization_](../../overview/roles-and-resources.md) is a workspace that combines different types of Yandex Cloud resources and users. To enable your employees to use Yandex Cloud resources, create an organization and add them to it. Any Yandex user can create an organization in Yandex Identity Hub.

Before you start using Yandex Identity Hub, [log in](https://passport.yandex.com/auth) to your Yandex account. If you do not have an account, [create](https://yandex.ru/support/passport/authorization/registration.html) one.
