Your Sentry account is tied to an organization — a shared workspace for your team’s projects, members, and settings. This page walks you through creating your account and configuring your organization.
1

Sign up

Go to sentry.io and create your account. You can sign up with:
  • Your email address and a password
  • Google
  • GitHub
If you’re joining an existing organization, ask your Sentry admin to send you an invitation instead. Accepting the invitation links your account directly to the right organization.
2

Create your organization

After signing up, Sentry prompts you to create an organization. Set the following:Organization name — A display name for your company or team. You can change this later in settings.Organization slug — A URL-safe identifier used in your Sentry URLs (for example, https://my-company.sentry.io). Choose carefully: slugs cannot be changed after creation.Data region — Choose where Sentry stores your event data:
RegionStorage location
United States (default)US data centers
European UnionEU data centers
Data region cannot be changed after your organization is created. If you have compliance requirements (such as GDPR), select the EU region before creating your organization.

Invite team members

Bring your team into Sentry so they can see and triage issues together.
  1. Go to Settings > Members
  2. Click Invite Members
  3. Enter email addresses (one per line, or comma-separated)
  4. Choose a role for the invitees
Sentry has five member roles:
RoleWhat they can do
BillingManage billing and subscription only
MemberView and manage issues; cannot change org settings
AdminManage projects and teams; limited org settings access
ManagerFull access to projects, teams, and members
OwnerFull access including billing and organization deletion
By default, only owners and managers can invite new members. Organization owners can change this under Settings > General Settings.

Configure organization settings

Under Settings > General Settings, you can configure:
  • Organization name — Update your display name at any time
  • Default role — The role assigned to members who accept invitations
  • Member permissions — Control whether members can create projects or invite others
  • Require 2FA — Enforce two-factor authentication for all organization members
  • Trusted relays — Add Sentry Relay servers for enhanced event filtering
Under Settings > Security & Privacy, you can configure:
  • Data Scrubbing — Strip sensitive data from events before storage
  • Safe fields — Fields exempted from scrubbing
  • Sensitive fields — Additional fields to scrub beyond the defaults

Set up teams

Teams in Sentry group members with the projects they own. This scopes alert notifications and issue assignments.
  1. Go to Settings > Teams
  2. Click Create Team
  3. Give the team a name (for example, backend, frontend, mobile)
  4. Add members to the team
When you create a project, you assign it to one or more teams. Team members receive alerts for the projects their team owns.
6

Set up SSO (optional)

If your organization uses a single sign-on (SSO) provider, you can require members to authenticate through it.Sentry supports SAML 2.0-based SSO with providers including:
  • Okta
  • Microsoft Azure Active Directory
  • Google Workspace
  • OneLogin
  • Any SAML 2.0-compatible provider
Go to Settings > Auth to configure your SSO provider. For step-by-step setup instructions and SCIM provisioning, see SSO & SCIM configuration.
After enabling SSO enforcement, members who cannot authenticate through your SSO provider will lose access to your organization. Test your SSO configuration before enforcing it.

​
Plan limits

Sentry offers four plan tiers. Your plan determines how many events you can send per month, how many team members you can have, and which features are available.
PlanMembersEventsKey features
Developer1LimitedAll core features, 30-day data retention
TeamUnlimitedConfigurableUnlimited members, 90-day data retention, custom alert rules
BusinessUnlimitedConfigurableAdvanced dashboards, custom queries, 90-day data retention
EnterpriseUnlimitedConfigurableSSO enforcement, SCIM provisioning, SLA, dedicated support
The Developer plan is free and does not require a credit card. You can upgrade at any time from Settings > Subscription.
If you exceed your monthly event quota, Sentry stops ingesting new events until the next billing period (or until you increase your quota). You can configure spike protection and rate limits to prevent unexpected quota overages.
