Overview
Instance Administration is where you manage your entire Arcane deployment. As an instance administrator, you control organizations, users, and who has administrative access across the instance.
What it is
Instance Administration gives you full control over your Arcane instance. Use it to:
- Create or delete organizations — Set up new organizations for different teams or environments, or remove them when no longer needed
- Manage instance admins — Grant or revoke instance administrator privileges
- View all users — See every user across the instance and manage accounts
- Track changes — Review audit logs for organizations and instance administrators
