Team creation

Creating a team is only possible with a specific access right.
The creator of the team gains immediate rights to edit any of its characteristics.

When creating a team you have to:

  • Name it (unique) and describe it
  • (opt) Create a join token
  • Add new or shared Whisperers
  • Add users and manage rights
  • Import or copy settings

This page is only about the first step.

Team creation​

Team creation is done in the team list popin with the New Team button.

The new team details opens with default settings.

  • The team is created with a random name (UUID).
  • The team does not have any join token.
  • Users and settings are blank
  • BUT a new Whisperer of UPLOAD type is created automatically, called Sandbox

Customize its identification​

The first actions are to:

  1. Adjust the name 😉
  2. Add a description (option)
info

Team names must be unique in a Spider setup.

Any team member with the Update team right may change the team description or name.

Sandbox Whisperer​

An upload Whisperer allows uploading

  • packet .pcap files
  • communications .json files

Upload Whisperer data have a much longer retention time period. Typically 30 days or more.
It is pretty useful to keep communications longer for team members.

A classic usage is:

  1. Export communications from a streaming Whisperer
  2. Reimport them to an upload Whisperer whenever you want to study or review them
