Users and organizations

Users and organizations #

Side-Eye is designed for teams of people (although you can certainly use it by yourself). As such, individual users belong to organizations, and snapshots are accessible to the whole organization. Agents report processes on behalf of an organization (agents are configured with an organization-wide API token), and all the configuration pertains to the whole organization: the program labeling rules that control what processes to monitor, and the spec controlling what data to collect in a snapshot and how to organize it.

An organization corresponds to an email domain: if you sign in using a Google account with the email andrei@mycorp.com, you belong to the mycorp.com organization. Some popular domains are recognized as not corresponding to organizations (“gmail.com”, “hotmail.com”, “yahoo.com”, “aol.com”, “outlook.com”, “icloud.com”, “protonmail.com”, “tutanota.com”, “comcast.net”); signing in with such an email address means you won’t share data with anyone else.

After signing in, you can click on the user avatar image in the header to see what organization you are part of.
