# Admin Configuration & Default Region

Published: 2025-11-07 · Version: v0.113.0

This release improves admin configuration and introduces a default region for organizations, while recent patches offload toolbox traffic to a proxy and resolve sandbox archiving.

This release improves admin account management and regional defaults for sandboxes.

Administrators can now configure Daytona’s initial admin user through environment variables; this enables CI/CD pipelines to inject an `ADMIN_API_KEY` and resource quotas automatically during first-time deployment. **Organizations** also gain a **default region property**, used when creating sandboxes without specifying a region, ensuring consistency across the API, dashboard, documentation and SDK.

Recent patch updates further **enhance the system**. Toolbox calls are now proxied directly to the daemon instead of the main API, offloading unnecessary traffic and improving performance and scalability. A fix also resolves an issue where sandboxes could become stuck in an archiving state, allowing stopped sandboxes marked for archival to be started freely.
