Intro

Organisations is an important concept in cmdcenter.

It helps you separate ownership and control access to infrastructures you manage.

What is an organisation ?

Organisation concept maps one to one with the person or team responsible of managing deployments/backups and hosting inside an organisation.

Usualy we call this people system engineers/sysadmins/build engineers, ... and in some organisations developpers are also directly responsible of operations (devops).

CmdCenter is aimed and designed exactly for this people.

Independance

An organisation is 100% independent.

It has its own server instances, members, apps and private network

Organisation folder structure

All data and configurations are stored inside dedicated organisation folder under $CMDCENTER_DATAHOME directory

Private network

All server instances inside an organisation are designed to run inside exactly one private network.
