Organizations and databases

In the cloud, Baseline uses organizations (tenants). Organizations and cloud bases require the Cloud plan — see Plans and access.

An organization can use Baseline for several business domains — for example ISMS, CRM, or test management.

When domains should be backed up, migrated, or governed independently, Baseline stores them in separate PostgreSQL databases. That keeps data and operational risk isolated.

Within one purpose database you can still have multiple bases.

Level Meaning
Organization Tenant / team account
Purpose database Isolated domain (e.g. ISMS or CRM)
Base Workspace inside a purpose database

Example database names (technical):

  • bl_acme_01_isms, bl_acme_02_crm
  • bl_contoso_01_qm
  • bl_northwind_01_risikomanagement

The backend system database (bl_admin_01_system) holds users, organizations, and memberships — not the domain bases themselves.

When you create an organization you also set the purpose of its first database. Additional purpose databases can be added later if the organization uses Baseline for more domains.
