January 27, 2025 — Organization account — General Availability¶

With this release, we are pleased to announce the general availability of the organization account, which is a new type of account that global organization administrators use to perform tasks that affect the entire organization. In the future, global organization administrators will also use the organization account to manage organization-level objects across all of their Snowflake accounts.

Before the introduction of the organization account, administrators used the ORGADMIN role to perform organization-level tasks. After advance notice is given, the ORGADMIN role will be phased out for multi-account organizations in a future release. Organization administrators are strongly encouraged to start using the new GLOBALORGADMIN role in the organization account to perform organization-level tasks.

For more information, see Organization accounts.
