Settings

The organization's Settings, at the bottom of the menu in the organization scope, decide how it works for its people. Owners and admins change most of them; the security settings and closing are the owners' alone. The tabs are General, Projects, Security, Audit and retention and Danger zone. Projects has its own page.

Organization settings: General, Projects, Security, Audit and retention, Danger zone
Organization settings: General, Projects, Security, Audit and retention, Danger zone

The organization's name and short name are set by NubeStack; ask support to change them.

General

Members may create projects: off by default, so only owners and admins create projects. Turn it on to let anyone with the member role create one; they become its project admin.

Security

Owners only. Changing these asks for your own second factor first.

  • Enforce two-factor authentication: every member must sign in with a second factor. Members without one are warned until the date shown, then refused until they set one up. See Second factor.
  • Invitations only to these e-mail domains: list your domains, for example acme.example, to refuse invitations to other addresses. Empty allows any domain. People already in the organization are not affected.

Audit and retention

  • Audit retention window: how far back the log can be read and exported here, 7 to 365 days. Every event is still recorded.
  • Allow audit log export: whether the download buttons work.
  • Viewers may read the audit log: owners and admins always can.

See Audit log and activity.

Danger zone

Close the organization

Owners only: Close organization. The dialog lists every project it will delete and asks you to type the organization's name.

When What happens
At once Every instance stops and pending invitations are revoked. Nothing can be changed; owners can still read everything
During the recovery window (30 days unless agreed otherwise) Everything is kept. Cancel closure brings it back
When the window ends Every project is deleted and every member removed. This cannot be undone
Afterwards The audit log and usage records are kept for the period the page shows

While the organization is closing, an owner can take a copy of its records: Request data export, then Download when ready. It is one JSON lines file with the organization, projects, members, usage, statements and audit log. It holds nothing from inside your instances and volumes: copy those yourself before the window ends.

What happens when a project is deleted or the organization closed Two timelines. Deleting a project, which project admins, owners and admins can do: at once the project is suspended and nothing new can be made in it. During the recovery window, 7 days unless agreed otherwise, Cancel deletion and then Resume project bring it back. When the window ends, or at once with Delete now, everything left is deleted, and this cannot be cancelled once started. Afterwards, activity and usage records are kept. With Delete everything in it, instances, load balancers, public IPs, routers, networks and security groups go within minutes, while volumes, snapshots and images are kept for the window and are the only things that come back after Cancel deletion. With Delete only if empty, the deletion is refused while anything is left. Closing the organization, owners only: at once every instance stops, pending invitations are revoked and nothing can be changed, though owners can still read everything. During the recovery window, 30 days unless agreed otherwise, everything is kept, Cancel closure brings it back and an owner can request a data export of its records. When the window ends, every project is deleted and every member removed; this cannot be undone. Afterwards the audit log and usage records are kept.

Closing the organization beside deleting one project: what happens at once, during the recovery window, when it ends and afterwards.
