Description

Currently how/where we are pushing users to create a new organization is not well formed. We do want to limit this as we don't want users to accidentally create a new organization/etc. However, because of that, it's not clear exactly what to do.

To continue the pattern from other listing pages, the button should live here:

The button should already exist there, hiding if there are already organizations for the user. But some new options could be a mix of:

  • Show the button disabled after organizations are created
  • Show a modal in between the button and the form

Research direction

Start by locating the organization listing page and its existing organization-creation button described in the issue. Review how other listing pages place their buttons and how the current form is reached; done means the creation path is clear while avoiding accidental organization creation, with the final interaction choice resolved.
