Hi, I started testing gitea on [try.gitea.io](http://try.gitea.io) and wanted to create an organization to see how to exclude users from certain things etc. The problem is I can’t create a user with administrative privileges through the website and as a regular user I can’t create new organisations. Then again I can see new organizations being recently created. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to use a different method (not through the website)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

And now the test instance is not working 🙂

It works now, it was presumably being reset when you tried it. I confirm that I’m not able to create an organization either. I suppose you’ll have to run Gitea on your own machine to try that out. It’s [well documented](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker/) and you can do with with [just two commands](https://forum.gitea.com/t/unattended-gitea-installation-from-the-cli/3373/17), even on a machine with little resources.

yes i already have a running instance set up on a new vm, just wanted to have a clean gitea without any test repos in its history.
Then again i could just test backup and restore of the database and repos and do my tests before restoring 🙂

@raf6202 let me know the username you have on [try.gitea.io](http://try.gitea.io) and I can grant you org create permissions.
