Admin Interface: Projects

A Project is a collection of folders and files with some associated metadata. It's the primary way in which users will interact with the server after logging in. Everything you might need is broken out into three separate pages: Projects, Project Folders, and Project Files.

Projects

The Projects page lets you manage projects, permissions, folders, and uploaded files across all users.

Creating a Project

  1. In the top-right corner of the page, click the "Add Project" button.
  2. Fill out the project's details, including name and description. (Leave settings alone unless you've been directed to use it by support.)
  3. Optionally add any users or groups you would like to have access to this project and set their permissions. You are automatically granted admin permissions as its creator.
  4. Click "Save".

Deleting a Project

Warning

Deleting a project cascades to all associated project files, snapshots, and analysis data. This cannot be undone.

  1. In the list of projects, select the project(s) you want to delete.
  2. Using the "Action" drop-down, select "Delete Selected Projects" and press "Go".

Modifying a Project

  1. In the list of projects, click the name of the project you want to edit.
  2. In the form, change the project's name, description, user permissions, and/or group permissions.
  3. Click "Save" to save your changes.

Project Folders

The Project Folders page lets you view, modify, add, or remove project folders. Folders are hierarchical (Project > folder/subfolder).

Warning

Deleting a folder cascades to its files and their analysis data. Move files out first if you don't want to lose them.

Project Files

Note

While creating a file from the server is technically possible, the admin interface is only able to upload the raw file. It can't upload initial analysis or snapshots. As a result, files should almost always be uploaded from the client instead (especially true for .bndb and .bnta files).

The Project Files page lets you view, modify, add, or remove project files. Each project file has:

  • An associated project
  • A display name, which is not guaranteed to be unique
  • A description
  • A type, which is currently one of: Raw Data, Binary View Analysis, or Type Archive
  • A folder (if unset, it is considered to be in the "root" folder for the project)
  • Some additional metadata
  • Optional dependencies ("depends on")
  • Some additional read-only metadata:
  • Who the file was created by
  • When the file was created
  • The file's hash
  • The file's id (which is its "real" name)

The file can also be downloaded from here as well, if you need.

Also, as a reminder: Deleting a project file cascades to its snapshots and other analysis data. This is generally what you want, in this circumstance.
