# Certify access by organization

Companies that host business partners, suppliers, or non-employees on a single platform can configure [organizations](../../identities/organizations.html) to differentiate the type of users. Identity Governance provides a way for companies to allow their business partners to certify access for their users.

|   | Certifying access by organization is only available for non-event based identity certification templates. |

You can set up your organizations and organization admins In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console. Learn more in [Organizations](../../identities/manage-identities.html#manage-organizations). When you have created an organization, you can add or import members and set the organization admins on the Administrators tab.

When end users from a partner organization submit access requests, the organization's administrators are responsible for reviewing and approving these requests.
