 # Join or leave an organization
 
+Organizations in {{ecloud}} group user accounts, projects and deployments under a common billing and access structure. If you have been invited to an organization, you can accept the invitation and become a member. You can also leave an organization at any time, as long as you don’t have active projects or deployments associated with your account.
+
+This guide explains how to join or leave an organization, including steps for handling projects and deployments when switching organizations.

 ## Accept an invitation [ec-accept-invitation]
 
 Invitations to join an organization are sent by email. Invited users have 72 hours to accept the invitation. If they do not join within that period, an administrator of the organization will have to send a new invitation. Refer to [manage users](/deploy-manage/users-roles/cloud-organization/manage-users.md) for more information.
