Create your organization

When you register a Lark account, you'll create an organization or your personal space. If you choose to create an organization, you'll be the founder and first primary administrator of your organization. Only the founder can disband an organization, but the role of founder can be transferred to others.

Open the Lark app, enter your email or phone number, accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click Next. Enter the verification code to complete the verification.

FAQs

How do I cancel if I accidentally register an organization?

You can cancel the accidentally registered organization by disbanding it, and only the founder can disband the organization. For more information, see Admin | Disband an organization.

Can a personal account be upgraded or converted into an organization account?

No. It's also not possible to convert an organization account into a personal account. You can have one personal account and multiple organization accounts under the same email or phone number. Create a new account if you need an account of the other type. For more information, see Switch accounts.

Why can't I see the option of the Lark Admin Console after clicking the profile photo?

Only the founder of the organization, the primary administrator, and administrators have the option of the Lark Admin Console.

If you are an administrator of the organization, please confirm whether you have logged into the correct organization account by clicking your profile photo and checking the organization name. If you have logged into an incorrect organization account, you will not be able to see the option of the Lark Admin Console.
