Keybase team create is_anybody_still_aliveĪ taste of TOFU: quick team building by email 🍱 We're curious what's happening in there (because we can't tell!). If you build a community and want to promote it, let us know. We're currently allowing up to 1,000 people into teams, but we'll expand this number as we make more improvements. You can create a Keybase team around any topic. They can then add you or ignore the request. Actually, I just made a team called keybasefriends so if you want to talk to other testers, ask for access: keybase team request-access keybasefriendsĪs an outsider, you can't tell who's on a team, so Keybase will ping the admins for you.

If you know of a team, you can ask for access. An admin of treehouse has keys for any subteams and can always add themselves. Other uses: maybe treehouse.interns2018 or ntractors. We're already doing this at Keybase: our board of directors is inside keybase.bod. You can invite someone into a subteam even if they're not in the parent team. Keybase team add-member treehouse.hiring -user=evan -role=admin Keybase team add-member treehouse.hiring -user=dahlia -role=writer From passing around technical secrets to discussing more tender business dealings, these groups will want data that can't be decrypted by others inside their own company.Īssuming you're an admin of treehouse, this works: keybase team create treehouse.hiring These groups have things to say and share that are absolutely private, just to them. Consider treehouse's devops team, or its board of directors. Subteams, quick 'n' easyĪctual companies, big and small, have another concern. If you want to segregate chats, cryptographically, this is what subteams are for. Important note A chat channel can be joined by anyone on a team.

When in doubt keybase team -help # for admin'ing teams Meaning, someone on your team will need to know basic terminal usage. However, for the next 4-8 weeks, administration of team membership & roles will be from the command-line. You can start building teams and reserving your team names now. We're live today on desktop (macOS / linux / windows) and mobile (iOS / Android). There are a lot more specifics in the technical docs and our open source code. The Keybase app takes care of all the crazy stuff, such as rotating keys when Alice later boots Carter, because he's a lousy tree-friend. Then later, Barb: keybase team add-member treehouse -user=carter -role=writer Keybase team add-member treehouse -user=barb -role=admin How they would've done this, command-line edition Carter can write files and chats, but he cannot edit the signature chain, since he's not an admin. In the above, we see a chain of length 3, where treehouse now has 2 admins (barb and alice) and 1 "writer" (carter). And technically, people themselves are chains, so you're signing their chains onto the team chain.

Your first link declares that only you can append to the chain. When you create a team, you begin a chain of signatures.

This isn't some malleable, trusted SQL database with team roles in it. (Spoiler: truly private repos.) Anyway, teams have signature chains This is only the beginning the GUI is evolving fast and we'll have another announcement in ~2 weeks about encrypted git for teams. FilesĪ team's encrypted files can be found in /keybase/team/: Teams with multiple chat channels are grouped under "Big teams."Īlso, there is no upsell on message history. If a team is small, it'll blend into your inbox. Teams can be casual and small: bezosfamily. What if your team's history got stolen from Slack and leaked or published? The legal and emotional nightmare.Īlso, Keybase accounts are simpler you don't have to switch at the top level of the app. Alternatively, you can lie awake at night.fearing a breach of your company's messaging history. But Keybase teamwork is end-to-end encrypted, which means you don't have to worry about server hacks.
