Manage organizations for a work or school account in the My Account portal
Applies To
The Organizations page of the My Account portal helps you to manage the organizations (typically, your organization's name) that you have access to. There are two types of organizations shown on the Organizations page:
-
Home organization. Your home organization is the organization that owns your work or school account. You can't leave your home organization. If you don't have an assigned home organization, you'll just see a single heading that says Organizations with the list of your associated organizations.
-
Other organizations. The other organizations are any group that you've signed in to previously using your work or school account. You can leave any of these organizations at any time.

This article is for users managing a work or school account.

If you're an administrator looking for information about group and user management for your employees and other uses, see the Enterprise user management documentation and Leave an organization as an external user.
