[Get in touch with us](https://www.docker.com/pricing/contact-sales/) if you haven't subscribed to Docker Business yet. - Your Docker Business subscription is new. If you upgraded your Docker Team subscription or renewed your Docker Business subscription, see [what's next](#whats-next). - Your Docker Business subscription has started. You cannot complete all the steps until after your subscription start date. ## Step 1: Identify your Docker users and their Docker accounts To begin, you should identify which users you will need to add to your Docker Business organization. Identifying your users will help you efficiently allocate your subscription's seats and manage access. > **Note** > > If you will use Docker Single Sign-on (SSO), users from your identity provider (IdP) are automatically provisioned in your organization when they sign in. You can identify which users have signed in to Docker Hub by viewing your organization's members in Docker Hub. You can also perform the steps below to identify users before you configure SSO. 1. Identify the Docker users in your organization. - If your organization uses device management software, like MDM or JAMF, you may use the device management software to help identify Docker users. See your device management software's documentation for details. You can identify Docker users by checking if Docker Desktop is installed at the following location on each user's machine: - Mac: `/Applications/Docker.app` - Windows: `C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker` - If your organization does not use device management software, you may survey your users. 2. Instruct all your Docker users in your organization to update their existing Docker account's email address to an address that's in your organization's domain, or to create a new account using an email address in your organization's domain. - To update an account's email address, instruct your users to sign in to [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}, go to [Account Settings](https://hub.docker.com/settings/general){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"}, and update the email address to their email address in your organization's domain. - To create a new account, instruct your users to go [sign up](https://hub.docker.com/signup){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} using their email address in your organization's domain. 3. Ask your Docker sales representative to provide a list of Docker accounts that use an email address in your organization's domain. ## Step 2: Add your Docker Business subscription to an organization On the day that your Docker Business subscription starts, your organization's primary contact will receive a welcome email from Docker to guide you through creating a new organization or to let you choose an existing organization for your Docker Business subscription. > **Note** > > If your organization's primary contact does not receive a welcome email from Docker on the day that your subscription starts: > - Check your email spam folder. > - Use the steps below to verify that your Docker Business organization does not already exist. > - Contact your Docker sales representative to verify your primary contact's email address. After completing the steps from the welcome email, verify that your organization exists and your organization has a Docker Business subscription: 1. Go to [Billing Details](https://hub.docker.com/billing){: target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} and then select on your organization's name. 2. Under **Plan**, view your subscription. If you organization has a Docker Business subscription, you will see **Docker Business**. ## Step 3: Add members Now that you have a Docker Business organization, it's time to start adding members. You can automatically add members to your organization by configuring Docker Single Sign-on (SSO), or invite members based their email address or Docker ID. > **Note** > > If you are not ready to configure SSO, you can invite members using their email address or Docker ID and then configure SSO at a later time. Any members you invite by email address or Docker ID can continue to have access after configuring SSO. > > In addition, when SSO is configured, you can still invite members not in your identity provider (IdP) by using their email address or Docker ID.
