An organization is your tenant boundary in Novacula. Everything you create — executors, nodes, API keys, members, audit log — lives inside exactly one organization. People in one organization cannot see or change anything in another. You belong to one organization at a time. The exception is the platform-level system admin, who can move between organizations — see Roles and permissions.

​
Create your organization

After you sign up and sign in for the first time, you land on the Create organization screen. Fill in:
  • Name — the display name shown across the dashboard. Names are unique regardless of case, so if Acme is taken, acme and ACME are too — you’ll be asked for a different name rather than ending up with a near-duplicate someone else can’t tell apart.
  • Slug — a short, URL-safe identifier (lowercase letters, digits, and dashes). It’s suggested automatically from the name; edit it if you like.
Select Create organization to finish. You become its owner and are taken to the dashboard. You can also join an existing organization instead of creating one: when someone invites you by email, accepting the invite adds you as a member with the role they chose. See Members and invitations.
You can own only one organization. You can be a member of others (by invitation), but the New organization action is available only if you don’t already own one.

​
Rename your organization

Open the account menu and choose Organization settings, or pick Settings in the sidebar, then the General tab. Organization details holds the Organization name; edit it and Save changes. The same tab holds Resource limit enforcement (owner-only, on by default) — whether a deploy whose request exceeds the executor’s reported capacity is blocked or only warned about; see Deploy a node. Only owners can rename an organization — admins and members see the field but can’t save. The same case-insensitive uniqueness applies as at creation, so a name another organization already holds is refused with “An organization with this name already exists.” even if the capitalization differs. Renaming changes the display name across the dashboard. It doesn’t change the slug or any URLs.

​
Switch the active organization

If you belong to more than one organization, switch between them from the account menu:
  1. Open the account menu — the avatar button in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
  2. Under Organization, pick the one you want. A check mark marks your current organization.
Everything reloads for the organization you selected — the node list, executors, API keys, and the rest all re-read from the new tenant immediately. To start your own organization, the same menu shows New organization (only when you don’t already own one). Creating it switches you into it straight away.

​
Roles

Within each organization, a member holds exactly one role — owner, admin, or member — which decides what they can see and change there. Roles are scoped per organization, so the same person can hold different roles in different organizations — an owner in one, a member in another. Inviting people, changing roles, and removing members all happen on the Members page. See Members and invitations and Roles and permissions for what each role can do.

​
Audit log

Every change inside the organization — member changes, executor and node lifecycle actions, and more — is recorded in the Audit log. Owners and admins open it from Audit log in the sidebar; members see only their own activity, on their profile page. See Audit log.
