Prerequisites

You must complete all the following steps before you can deactivate your organization:

• Download any images and tags you want to keep. Use docker pull -a <image> to pull all tags, or docker pull <image>:<tag> to pull a specific tag.
• If you have an active Docker subscription, downgrade it to a free subscription.
• Remove all other members within the organization.
• Unlink your GitHub and Bitbucket accounts.
• For Business organizations, remove your SSO connection.

Deactivate

You can deactivate your organization using either the Admin Console or Docker Hub.

1. Sign in to Docker Home and select the organization you want to deactivate.
2. Select Admin Console, then Deactivate. If the Deactivate button is unavailable, confirm you've completed all Prerequisites.
