## Organization Types
59+
60+
Logfire has a similar structure to Github in that you have a personal org, and then can create
61+
and/or belong to many other normal (i.e. non-personal) orgs. Both org types are functionally the same and you
62+
can invite others to join either type of org. The only difference is that you can't convert a normal
63+
org to a personal org.
64+

### Which Org Type Should You Use?
74+
While you *can* use your personal org for production use-cases (e.g. if you
75+
are working alone or in a small team), you may wish to switch your personal org to a normal org if you are working
76+
at a larger company and want to create a more "official" Logfire org for that company. This also means you don't have
77+
to share your personal org's projects (which you may wish to keep private) with any colleagues.
78+
79+
### How Do I Switch from Personal to Normal Org?
80+
In the personal org settings, you will find a section called "Convert to org", which will take you through a brief series of
81+
steps where you will:
82+
83+
- Define your new (normal) organization's name and slug
84+
- Edit the name of your personal org if you wish
85+
86+
After you do this, all projects, members, alerts, dashboards and settings will be migrated to the new org. You will
87+
be the owner of the new org.
