Organizations

What is an Organization?

In Deno Deploy, an organization is a group where users collectively own apps and domains. Every user belongs to an organization - all resources (apps, domains, environment variables) exist at the organization level.

Each organization has:

  • Name: Displayed in the dashboard
  • Slug: Part of your default domain (e.g., acme-inc.deno.net)

Important: The slug cannot be changed after creation.

Creating an Organization

Organizations are created automatically during Deno Deploy signup:

  1. Visit https://console.deno.com
  2. Sign in with GitHub
  3. Create your organization as part of setup

Finding Your Organization

Your org name appears in the console URL:

https://console.deno.com/YOUR-ORG-NAME

Use this for CLI commands:

deno deploy create --org YOUR-ORG-NAME
deno deploy --org YOUR-ORG-NAME --prod

Managing Members

Inviting Users

  1. Go to organization settings in the dashboard
  2. Click "+ Invite User"
  3. Enter the person's GitHub username (e.g., ry)
  4. Optionally add their email address
  5. Send the invitation

The invitee receives an email with a link to accept.

Removing Members

  1. Go to organization settings
  2. Find the user in the members table
  3. Click remove and confirm

Canceling Invitations

Pending invitations can be cancelled before the person accepts.

Permissions

Currently, all members have owner permissions. Every member can:

  • Invite and remove other members
  • Create and delete apps
  • Manage domains
  • Configure environment variables
  • Deploy to production

There is no tiered permission system yet.

Organization Deletion

Organizations cannot be deleted through the dashboard. Contact Deno support if you need to delete an organization.

Best Practices

  • Choose your slug carefully - it's permanent and visible in URLs
  • Limit membership - since all members have full access
  • Use descriptive app names - they become part of URLs too
