# Creating, managing and deleting an organisation record

{% hint style="info" %}
Organisation records can only be created, managed and deleted by Stewardship Organisation Administrators.
{% endhint %}

Stewardship Organisation Administrators can create organisation records to represent any organisations that are not represented by a Stewardship Organisation. These can then be linked to any metadata items in the registry that are associated with that organisation.

**Note:** Organisation records can be created and linked regardless of whether they are complete (published) or still a draft.

### How to create an organisation record
