# About Organizations

Organizations form the highest tier in Contentstack's entity hierarchy. [Users](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack-users), [stacks](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack), and all associated resources reside within an organization. This centralized structure allows management of users and stacks through a single administrative panel.

The Organization feature is primarily for administrators ([Owner and Admins](/docs/administration/about-administration-roles)), allowing them to manage roles and permissions for the users and stacks of the account.

Organizations serve two main purposes:

*   Simplify the process of managing stacks and permissions for a group of users or a company
*   View consolidated subscription plan and usage information

If you have required rights, you can access the [Organization Settings](/docs/administration/organization-settings-overview) to learn about the Organization, users associated with it, and more.
