Concepts

Spaces

Every board lives in exactly one space:

• Your personal space — yours alone. Nobody else reaches a board there unless you share it.
• An organization — a company, or for a managed service provider one organization per client. Its members reach its boards according to their role.

A board moves from your personal space into an organization with Transfer. Going the other way is a Duplicate: the organization keeps its board.

Organizations, members and roles

An organization has members, each with one role:

Role	In short
Owner	Everything, including deleting the organization and exporting it whole. There is always at least one owner.
Admin	Everything inside: members, teams, API keys, agents, security policy, every board.
Member	Edits the organization’s boards, except where a folder or board is restricted.
Viewer	Reads the organization’s boards. Adds and changes nothing.

Roles has the complete list.

Teams

A team is a group of an organization’s members — “Network”, “Ops”, “Helpdesk”. Sharing a board or folder with a team shares it with everyone on it, now and later. A team is a subset of its organization, never a way into it: only members can be put on a team.

Folders

Boards are filed in folders, nested up to four deep, inside a space. Access granted on a folder reaches everything inside it. A folder or a board can be restricted, which closes it to everybody the organization would otherwise let in — see restricted folders.

Boards

A board is one network or system, drawn: devices, connections and relations, zones, notes and documents. It reads as a diagram, an inventory, registers and a document. Every save is versioned. See Boards.

Agents

An agent is infrality-agent installed on a machine inside a network. It belongs to an organization, reports to one board (its attributed board), and is driven from the dashboard: sweep now, stop, change its range or its schedule, pause it, remove it. See how the agent works.

API keys

An agent proves which organization it belongs to with an API key (nk_…). Keys are created by the organization’s admins, shown once, expire after a year by default, and are bound to a single agent unless created otherwise. See API keys.

Sweeps and scan runs

A sweep is one pass of an agent over its range. Each is recorded as a scan run with its counters and an outcome:

Outcome	Meaning
Succeeded	The whole range was swept.
Partial	The sweep reached its time ceiling first. What it found is filed. Raise the timeout if it recurs.
Cancelled	Somebody pressed Stop. What it found before stopping is filed.
Failed	The agent reported a failure.
Abandoned	The agent went silent mid-sweep for more than 90 seconds.
