I've just installed my own Chef server, and noticed the lack of "organizations" feature.

Why is this missing from the self-hosted Open Source version of Chef?

Is the thinking that Open Source Chef will be self-hosted per-organization, thus rendering the need for this feature moot?

Not sure why this was closed, the answer is pretty clear. Basically it's because Hosted Chef is shared by multiple customers, each one has their own database in the service. Opscode uses "organization" as the line of separation. Private Chef is often adopted by large organizations that have multiple departments that are their own organizations (think of different product groups and the like). – jtimberman Jan 28 at 16:35

Organizations are a feature of Opscode's paid Chef server products, Opscode Hosted Chef and Opscode Private Chef.
