Organizations can be on:
* **Free plan**. This is the default plan. Every project in an organization on the free plan is public.
* **Paid plan**. This plan unlocks the ability to have private projects. Go to the "Billing" page of your organization to upgrade it to the paid plan.
+
+Depending on which plan the organization is in, its [visibility](/organizations/organization-visibility) will change.

+## Free plan organization
+
+Free plan organizations are public. This means that almost everything is visible to any user - even anonymous ones:
+
+* Projects
+* Issues
+* Quality Profiles
+* Quality Gates
+* Rules
+
+The following pages are restricted:
+
+* Members: to members of the organization
+* Administration pages: to administrators of the organization
+
+## Paid plan organization
+
+Paid plan organizations are private. This means that nothing is visible to non-members of the organization. In other words, you need to be a member of the organization to see:
+
+* Projects - which are private by default
+* Issues
+* Quality Profiles
+* Quality Gates
+* Rules
+* Members
+
+The administration pages are obviously also restricted to administrators of the organization.
+
+### Want to make one project public?
+
+If you are on a paid plan organization but want to make a project public (for instance because you are developing an open-source library), this is possible. You will have to manually make the project public in its "Administration > Permissions" page. Once done, you will notice the "Public" badge on the project.
+
+As soon as you have one public project, the following pages will become visible to any user:
+
+* Projects
+* Issues
+* Rules
+
+"Quality Profiles" and "Quality Gates" pages will remain restricted to members only - since you might not want to unveil some information used by your private projects.
