# set-default

Set a default organization for CLI operations


## Description

Sets a default organization that will be used automatically in subsequent CLI commands
that require an organization context. This eliminates the need to specify the organization
UID for each command. The default organization is stored in the ~/.sosrc configuration file.

:::tip Remarks
The default organization can be overridden using the SOS_ORGANIZATION_UID environment variable
or by using the --organization-uid flag in individual commands.
:::
