# Organization User Pools
31+
32+
Organization User Pools is a powerful multi-tenant user management feature that isolates user identities within specific organizations. This feature is essential for B2B applications where you need to maintain separate user pools across different client organizations while allowing the same email addresses or usernames to exist across organizations.
33+
34+
## What are Organization User Pools?
35+
36+
Organization User Pools create isolated user identity spaces within your Kinde environment. Each organization maintains its own pool of user identities, preventing cross-organization identity conflicts and ensuring data isolation.
37+
38+
### Key Benefits
39+
40+
- **Identity Isolation**: Users from different organizations cannot access each other's accounts
41+
- **Email Reuse**: The same email address can exist across multiple organizations
42+
- **Secure Multi-tenancy**: Complete data and identity separation between organizations
43+
- **Scalable B2B**: Support unlimited organizations with isolated user management
44+
- **Backward Compatibility**: Works with existing authentication flows
45+
46+
## Use Cases
47+
48+
### B2B SaaS Applications
49+
- **Multi-tenant platforms** where each client organization has isolated users
50+
- **Enterprise applications** requiring strict data separation
51+
- **Partner portals** with organization-specific access
52+
53+
### Enterprise Organizations
54+
- **Internal departments** with separate user management
55+
- **Subsidiary companies** requiring isolated user pools
56+
- **Client-specific deployments** with unique user spaces
57+
58+
### Example Scenario
59+
60+
Consider a project management SaaS serving multiple companies:
61+
62+
```
63+
Company A (org_company_a):
64+
65+
66+
67+
Company B (org_company_b):
68+
- [email protected] (same email, different organization, different password)
69+
70+
```
71+
72+
Without Organization User Pools, the second `[email protected]` would conflict with the first. With Organization User Pools enabled, both can coexist safely.
73+
74+
## How to Enable Organization User Pools
75+
76+
This is disabled by default. This can be enabled by updating the environment settings when the account has no users.
77+
78+
1. Visit "Settings > Environment Details"
79+
2. Click the "Enable Organization User Pools" toggle
80+
3. Click "Save"
