Set up a team

Set up a team in Wardterm: create it, invite people by email, confirm each person's fingerprint before they get access, choose roles and require two-factor.

Create the team

  1. Buy Team or Business on the pricing page.
  2. In the app, open Team: in the Profile tab on iPhone and iPad, in the account menu on Mac.
  3. Fill in Name of the team and choose Create team.

Invite people

Each person goes through four steps: invite sent, accepts in the app, you confirm the fingerprint, active.

  1. Choose Invite, type the person's email and choose Send. If all seats are in use, on Mac choose Add seat and invite: the seat is added to your subscription.
  2. The person gets an email, then accepts the invitation in the app, signed in with that same email.
  3. On their device, Team shows Your key fingerprint. On yours, choose Compare fingerprint next to their name.
  4. The app asks for three of the eight groups of their fingerprint, chosen at random each time. The person reads them from their device, in person, on a call or in a message you trust, and you type them. You can also paste their whole fingerprint. When the groups are right, grant access.

The same check comes when you add a person to a vault, make someone the owner, choose Verify on a vault waiting for you, and before the first copy you send to a person. Your own fingerprint is in Team and in Security, under My fingerprint.

Roles

  • Owner: manages the team, the seats and the plan, and decides who is in each vault.
  • On Team, everyone can edit the Team vault.
  • On Business, each vault gives each person Can edit (servers, keys, passwords and commands inside it), Can view or No access. See Shared vaults.

Two-factor for everyone

Turn on two-factor authentication for yourself first, then turn on Require two-factor for everyone. Members without it cannot sync or see the team until they turn it on. See Your account.

Make someone else the owner

  1. In Team, open the menu of an active member and choose Make owner. If you have not checked their fingerprint yet, the app asks for three of its groups first.
  2. Enter your vault password and choose Send.
  3. The person has 7 days to accept. Meanwhile Team shows who you are waiting for and until when, with Cancel transfer.
  4. The person accepts or declines in the account area of this website, under Team ownership. With a paid team plan, they choose Accept and pay, monthly or yearly, for the seats the team has today.

The team changes owner when the payment arrives. You stay in the team and can edit. Your team subscription ends with a refund for the time left, and so does a Pro plan of the new owner bought on this website. A Pro plan from the App Store is cancelled by the new owner, in the iPhone settings. If the team requires two-factor, the new owner turns it on first.

Remove someone, or leave

  • Remove from team takes a person out. Change the shared passwords and keys on your servers too.
  • Leave team takes you out. The shared vaults leave your device; your personal vault stays.

Seats are paid on the website: Manage billing opens your account area.
