# Limit how many organizations users can create

![Limit how many organizations users can create feature showcase](./clerk-dashboard-limit-org-creation.png)

Administrators can now more easily control how many organizations their users are allowed to create, providing extra controls for your B2B applications.

[Configure](https://clerk.com/docs/organizations/overview.md#application-user) a default setting for all users via API or from the [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=organizations-settings), and then customize the limit on a per-user basis (also via the [Backend API](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/users/PATCH/users/%7Buser_id%7D) or in a specific User detail view in the [Clerk Dashboard](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=users))

For some applications, this unlocks the ability to restrict org creation initially until a user has taken additional actions - like signing up for a paid plan. You simply set the defaults and Clerk keeps track of the creation and deletion of organizations.
