How can I make an Organisation private as I can with a repo? The reason is, we do host Gitea as coding platform and sometimes we want to avoid that unauthorized people are able to see for which Organisations (= Customers) we are doing projects. ---

There is an issue for this: [https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/3266](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/3266) (If you simply want to require all users to have an account in order to see the orgs, then well, you can use as said there the option `REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW`). Otherwise, you can also change your membership visibility on the team members page: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gitea/original/1X/8777d72feae3e1b8b3df2aa788074a62b90d749f.png) Though I’m not sure whether that helps your case. ---
