Team VMs

Shared quota

When you're in a team, individual VM limits are replaced by team-wide limits. All members' VMs count toward the same pool. Run team to see current usage:

VMs: 12 / 100

Creating VMs

Team members create VMs the same way as individual users. The VM is owned by whoever creates it and counts toward the team's shared quota.

Admin visibility

Team admins (and the billing owner) see all team members' VMs when running ls -a. These appear under a "Team VMs" section, separate from your own.

Admin SSH access

Admins can SSH directly into any team member's VM, both by name and by IP shard routing. This works the same as SSHing into your own box:

ssh mybox@exe.dev

Admins can also delete, rename, and copy member VMs.

There are two kinds of team sharing.

Web access

Share a VM's private web proxy with the whole team:

share add mybox team

Team shares are dynamic — when a new member joins, they automatically get access to all team-shared VMs. Remove it with:

share remove mybox team

SSH and Shelley access

Web sharing doesn't grant SSH or Shelley access. To let any team member (not just admins) SSH into the VM or use Shelley on it:

share access allow mybox

Revoke with:

share access disallow mybox

See the sharing docs for more on how sharing works.

## Shared quota

When you're in a team, individual VM limits are replaced by team-wide limits.
All members' VMs count toward the same pool. Run `team` to see current usage:

```
VMs: 12 / 100
```

## Creating VMs

Team members create VMs the same way as individual users. The VM is owned by
whoever creates it and counts toward the team's shared quota.

## Admin visibility

Team admins (and the billing owner) see all team members' VMs when running
`ls -a`. These appear under a "Team VMs" section, separate from your own.

## Admin SSH access

Admins can SSH directly into any team member's VM, both by name and by IP
shard routing. This works the same as SSHing into your own box:

```
ssh mybox@exe.dev
```

Admins can also delete, rename, and copy member VMs.

## Sharing with the team

There are two kinds of team sharing.

### Web access

Share a VM's private web proxy with the whole team:

```
share add mybox team
```

Team shares are dynamic — when a new member joins, they automatically get
access to all team-shared VMs. Remove it with:

```
share remove mybox team
```

### SSH and Shelley access

Web sharing doesn't grant SSH or Shelley access. To let any team member
(not just admins) SSH into the VM or use Shelley on it:

```
share access allow mybox
```

Revoke with:

```
share access disallow mybox
```
