# Add Existing Organizations

> [!TIP] No more add existing clients
> As of 2024.7.0, the option to migrate pre-existing organizations to your Provider is no longer supported.

MSPs, resellers, and other Bitwarden partners that are already administering organizations on behalf of their clients can add pre-existing organizations to their Provider Portal.

When Bitwarden detects that a [Provider admin's](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/provider-users/#provider-user-types/) account is the **owner of a non-provider organization**, the Provider Portal will display an + **Add existing organization** button:

Selecting the + **Add existing organization** button prompts you to select the organization to add to the Provider:

Once added, the organization will appear in the **Clients** list alongside all other client organizations.

> [!NOTE] Provider and member seat 
> **Once you have added the existing organization to the Provider**, you (the Provider admin and organization owner) can be removed from the organization. Doing so will free up the user seat previously taken up by your account. As a member of the Provider, you will retain all permission over the client organization:
> 
> 1. Organizations may not be owner-less, so [add a backup owner to the organization](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/managing-users/#invite/).
> 2. Once the new owner is invited, accepted, and confirmed, ask them to [remove you from the organization](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/managing-users/#offboard-users/).
