# The Backend Organization object

The Backend `Organization` object is similar to the [Organization](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/objects/organization.md) object as it holds information about an Organization, as well as methods for managing it. However, the Backend `Organization` object is different in that it is used in the [Backend API](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/model/Organization){{ target: '_blank' }} and is not directly accessible from the Frontend API.
