     5  # Accounts on Docker Hub
     6  
     7  ## Docker Hub accounts
     8  
     9  You can `search` for Docker images and `pull` them from [Docker
    10  Hub](https://hub.docker.com) without signing in or even having an
    11  account. However, in order to `push` images, leave comments or to *star*
    12  a repository, you are going to need a [Docker
    13  Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account.
    14  
    15  ### Registration for a Docker Hub account
    16  
    17  You can get a [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account by
    18  [signing up for one here](https://hub.docker.com/account/signup/). A valid
    19  email address is required to register, which you will need to verify for
    20  account activation.
    21  
    22  ### Email activation process
    23  
    24  You need to have at least one verified email address to be able to use your
    25  [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account. If you can't find the validation email,
    26  you can request another by visiting the [Resend Email Confirmation](
    27  https://hub.docker.com/account/resend-email-confirmation/) page.
    28  
    29  ### Password reset process
    30  
    31  If you can't access your account for some reason, you can reset your password
    32  from the [*Password Reset*](https://hub.docker.com/account/forgot-password/)
    33  page.
    34  
    35  ## Organizations and groups
    36  
    37  A Docker Hub organization contains public and private repositories just like
    38  a user account. Access to push, pull or create these organisation owned repositories
    39  is allocated by defining groups of users and then assigning group rights to
    40  specific repositories. This allows you to distribute limited access
    41  Docker images, and to select which Docker Hub users can publish new images.
    42  
    43  ### Creating and viewing organizations
    44  
    45  You can see what organizations [you belong to and add new organizations](
    46  https://hub.docker.com/account/organizations/) from the Account Settings
    47  tab. They are also listed below your user name on your repositories page
    48  and in your account profile.

    51  
    52  ### Organization groups
    53  
    54  Users in the `Owners` group of an organization can create and modify the
    55  membership of groups.
    56  
    57  Unless they are the organization's `Owner`, users can only see groups of which they
    58  are members.

    61  
    62  ### Repository group permissions
    63  
    64  Use organization groups to manage who can interact with your repositories.
    65  
    66  You need to be a member of the organization's `Owners` group to create a new group,
    67  Hub repository or automated build. As an `Owner`, you then delegate the following
    68  repository access rights to groups:
    69  
    70  - `Read` access allows a user to view, search, and pull a private repository in the
    71    same way as they can a public repository.
    72  - `Write` access users are able to push to non-automated repositories on the Docker
    73    Hub.
    74  - `Admin` access allows the user to modify the repositories "Description", "Collaborators" rights,
    75    "Mark as unlisted", "Public/Private" status and "Delete".
    76  
    77  > **Note**: A User who has not yet verified their email address will only have
    78  > `Read` access to the repository, regardless of the rights their group membership
    79  >  gives them.
