Can I be the Owner of an Organization and also the Owner of Independent Accounts using the same User ID (log in)?
No. At this time accounts owned by your User ID cannot be “independent” from the Organization that your User ID is the owner of. Any account you are the owner of will automatically be added to the Organization you are the owner of.

Are newly created accounts automatically added to the Organization?
Yes, new accounts created by managed users (Owner, Admin, Member - Standard User ) will automatically be added to to the Organization.
Are newly created users automatically added to Organization?
The default option is for newly signed-up users from your verified domains to be denied signup instead they have to be invited into the Organization. You can modify the setting here.
Can I reset the password of a Managed User in my Organization?
Yes. To do this you should go to Admin Center -> Users -> Managed Users -> Select the desired user and click on Reset Password, then confirm the action.
This will log out the user and send them a reset link, valid for 24 hours, to their email. From it they can set a new password.
Can I reset the 2FA number of a Managed User in my Organization?
Yes. To do this you should go to Admin Center -> Users -> Managed Users -> Select the desired user and click on Reset 2FA, then confirm the action.
This will remove the current 2FA number of the user and on their next login they will be prompted to enter a new one. The user will also receive an email notifying them of the reset of their 2FA number.
How can I close or delete my Organization?
At this time, you can’t close or delete your Organization from the Console. If you need to close your organization, you can request your organization to be merged to another one.
Can I invite a member from another Organization?
Upon successful domain registration, Organization Owner/Admins can send an invitation to another Organization Owner. If the owner accepts the invitation his Organization will be absorbed/merged by the prime Organization.
You can also merge accounts that are owned by users with an email domain that is verified on your organization in bulk trough the use of our Bulk User Import tool.
How can I merge several Organziations?
In case your accounts are spread around several Twilio organizations and you'd like to merge them - you can follow the detailed instructions found in the Merge Organizations document.
