# Organizational Administrators
Note: If Grafana is configured with users.allow_org_create = true, any User of any Organization will be able to start their own Organization and become the administrator of that Organization.
As an Organizational administrator, you can manage all Users within your Organization.

From the Grafana Server Admin page, you can access the System Info page which summarizes all of the backend configuration settings of the Grafana server.
# Why would I have multiple Organizations?
In many cases, a Grafana installation will only have one Organization. There's no need to create multiple Organizations if you want all your users to have access to the same set of dashboards and data. In a multitenant deployment, Organizations can be used to provide a full Grafana experience to different sets of users from a single Grafana instance, at the convenience of the Grafana Administrator.
