Keychain page
The console's Keychain page, its two tabs (Keychain and Installs), what each state shows, the help on every term, and who can use it.
Keychain (/keychain, g k) is where an organisation with several installs sets 3AM up once. How the Keychain
works, end to end: Keychain. This page is the console's side of it.
Two tabs
| Tab | For | Tiers |
|---|---|---|
| Keychain | One setup for every install: the home, its members, adding sites, what it carries | Enterprise, Strategic |
| Installs | The installs on the licence: add one (ask to join, vouch with six digits), take one off, the install history | Every tier whose licence names its installs |
The arrow keys switch tabs; the choice is remembered.
What each state shows
| This install is | The page shows |
|---|---|
| Not on a Keychain | A map of the idea, then 1 · Start a Keychain here (make this the home) and 2 · Join a Keychain (site key, pair, sealed file); a fold to seal this install's setup for an offline site |
| The home | The ring: a map of the home and its members, each dot by health; N keys on the ring · your licence allows 10 installs; what it carries; Members (rename, make it the home, remove); Add a site (a new host, an install already running, no network between them, each in numbered steps); What it carries (a switch per part); Site keys |
| A member | Where its setup comes from and when it last synced; If the home is gone after 15 minutes of silence (owners can take over); Each part (keep my own, take the Keychain's); The ring as the home last told it; Move to another home |
Help on every term
A ? beside each term (home, member, site key, pairing, sealed file, joining the licence, keeping its own, the ring) explains it in a sentence or two; Tab reaches it, Enter opens it, Escape closes it. How it works (top right) opens the whole story in a side panel: how it goes, three ways in, changing the home, when an install is lost, what it carries and never carries, how it's kept safe, who can change it.
Who can use it
Everyone signed in sees it. Owners and admins change it; viewers and responders see You can view the Keychain. Owners and admins change it. Taking over as the home is for owners only. The server enforces all of it.
