# Create root key quorum

Once you have created Privy users to model the members of an organization, create a **root key quorum** of users for that organization.

## What is a root key quorum?

The root key quorum should be a highly-privileged, locked-down set of individuals that administrates wallets for the organization.

The root key quorum's permissions over an organization's wallet(s) include:

* Executing signatures and transactions
* Adding, removing, and modifying policies
* Provisioning scoped access to other organization members
* Managing private key export

In kind, we **strongly** suggest that organizations configure their root key quorum to be a narrow, highly-trusted and -privileged set of individuals that requires quorum approvals for any sensitive actions.

## Creating the root key quorum

To create the root key quorum for an organization, simply [create a key quorum](/api-reference/key-quorums/create) with:

* a `user_ids` array containing the user IDs of all of the desired members of the root key quorum
* an `authorization_threshold` number indicating how many of the users in the quorum must approve an action in order for quorum to be met

View the [API reference for creating key quorums](/api-reference/key-quorums/create) to inspect the types directly.

Generally, we recommend setting an `authorization_threshold > 1` to avoid a unilateral point of control over organization wallets.

## Creating quorums for other roles

In addition to the root key quorum, you may create other key quorums of users for the organization that will be assigned lower privileges.

Specifically, these key quorums will not be able to update a wallet's configuration (access control or policies) or manage private key export, but would be able to execute signatures and transactions within their defined scope.
