There you can apply tailnet-wide configuration, such as ACLs that affect visibility of devices inside your tailnet, DNS settings, and more.

For businesses and organisations, viewing a headscale instance a single tailnet would allow users (namespace) to talk to each other with the ACLs. As described in tailscale's documentation [[1]], a server should be tagged and personnal devices should be tied to a user. Translated in headscale's terms each user can have multiple devices and all those devices should be in the same namespace. The servers should be tagged and used as such.
