Organizations

Organizations are the top-level container for your Baseguard network. Each organization has its own overlay network, access control rules, and user membership.

Creating an Organization

1. Click the organization selector in the header
2. Click New Organization
3. Enter the organization name
4. Click Create Organization

Organization Settings

Access settings via Settings in the sidebar.

General

• Name: Organization display name
• ID: Unique organization identifier
• IPv4 CIDR: Overlay network range
• Domain: DNS suffix

Auto Update

The Auto Update card (visible to owners and admins) controls whether nodes upgrade themselves to new Baseguard releases:

• Enable Auto Update: Automatically update nodes to the latest available version. Enabled by default.
• Maintenance Window: One-hour window each day when auto-update runs. The hour you pick is interpreted in UTC (default 06:00).

How it works:

• Each connected node periodically checks for a newer release and installs it only inside the maintenance window, at most once per window.
• Releases are downloaded from GitHub Releases and verified with Ed25519 signatures before installation; an update that fails verification is never installed.
• The daemon restarts itself after installing; the node reconnects automatically within seconds.
• Mobile apps (iOS/Android) are updated through the app stores and are not affected by this setting.

You can also trigger an update immediately for a single node from the Nodes page, or on the device itself with baseguard update. Both work regardless of the Auto Update toggle.

DNS

• Enable DNS: Let nodes reach each other by hostname and apply nameservers, search domains, and records
• Override local DNS: Use only the configured global nameservers, with no fallback to the nodes' system resolvers
• Organization Domain: Suffix used for node names, e.g. server-01.abc123.baseguard.link

See DNS for details.

Node Settings

• Default Node Key Expiration: Days until node keys expire
• Node Approval: Require admin approval for new devices

Switching Organizations

If you belong to multiple organizations:

1. Click the organization selector
2. Choose the desired organization
3. Console refreshes with new organization context

Deleting an Organization

Only organization owners can delete:

1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll to Danger Zone
3. Click Delete Organization
4. Confirm by typing organization name

Warning: This permanently deletes all organization data, nodes, and configuration.
