Organizations are groups of users that share access to IonQ resources. If you signed up for the IonQ Quantum Cloud Platform through an email invitation sent by an existing organization, you joined that organization. If you signed up directly, a new organization was created, and you are the Organization Owner.
Organizations can contain many users, have many projects, and can be assigned QPU access.
Organization Membership
Members of an organization can be either an Owner or a User.
-
Organization Owners can…
- Add or remove users from the organization and manage users’ roles
- View the aggregate spend of the organization
- View the individual spend of all users in the organization
- Create and archive projects
- Manage the membership, budgets, and permissions of projects
- View all projects and job data of any project in the organization
- Set the default budget and QPU permissions for new projects
-
Organization Users can…
- View and submit jobs to projects they are a member of
- View the details of their own jobs and other jobs in their projects
- View the cost of their projects, both in aggregate and per-member spend
As of April 2025, a user can be a member of more than one organization using the same account (email and password). If you are invited to an organization via an email address that is already associated with an account in a different organization, you can accept the new invitation and your existing account will automatically be added to the new organization. A user who belongs to multiple organizations can switch between them using the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the IonQ Quantum Cloud Console. Roles and permissions are tracked separately for each organization, and all data is only accessible from within the organization that owns it.
Previously, users needed to sign up with a different email address (or email sub-address variation) and create a separate account for each organization they wanted to join.
Managing Members
An organization owner can invite members, manage roles, view information about members, and remove members.
The creator of the Organization starts as the first owner, and they can set additional users as organization owners as needed.
Inviting members
On the Organization Members page, click Invite member from the top of the page. Invitations expire after 30 days, and can be re-sent on this page if needed.
When an invite is still pending, it can be revoked or resent as needed from the member list.
Changing a member’s role
To change a member’s role, click on the role dropdown in the member list. Changes are saved as soon as they’re made.
Viewing a member’s projects
You can view all the projects an organization member belongs to by selecting the number of the projects in the “projects” column in the organization members list.
Remove organization member
You can remove an organization member from the organization by selecting the multi action button at the end of the member row in the organization members list. Select the “remove from organization” button.
Organization Spend
View spend
If your organization has paid QPU access, you can view your total organization spend and available credit from your organization spend page.
