NarraLeaf Team
A self-hosted server that holds the projects a team works on together.
NarraLeaf Team is a server an organization runs itself. It holds the projects a team works on together, issues the identity Studio signs in with, and decides who may reach each project. There is no hosted service and no account to register.
Studio is complete without one. A Team server is what a team adds when more than one person works on the same project.
NarraLeaf Team is in early development. Real-time collaboration is not finished, and the protocol between Studio and a server can change between releases.
What a server holds
| Content | Description |
|---|---|
| Projects | Each project is a repository on the server. Studio lists them, creates them, and copies them to a machine. |
| Accounts | One account per person. An operator creates them, and Studio signs in with one. |
| Access decisions | Every access to a project is checked against the account that asked, and the outcome is recorded. |
| Comments | Notes anchored to a scene, a row, or an asset. |
| Presence | Who else has a project open. |
The work itself lives in the repositories. A server never reads a project's document formats.
What a team gets
- One place the projects live. An author is given one address and an account. Studio asks the server for everything else.
- Access that can be withdrawn. Disabling an account, or refusing the tokens it holds, takes effect on that account's next request.
- A record of who reached what. Every allowed and refused access is kept and can be read back.
- Comments in the project. A note is attached to the scene or the row it is about, and travels with the project rather than with a chat log.
What it is not
A Team server is not a build service, not a chat system, and not a general backend. It does not run builds, and it does not store anything about a project beyond the repository, the registry row, and the comments left on it.
Access is per account, not per project. Every account on a server reaches every project on it. A project that one person must not see belongs on a second server.
