Two-Factor Authentication: Security measure that adds a second layer of protection to the initial password.

Project invitations: List of pending invitations to collaborate in an Organization and Project to which you were invited.

User: A User belongs to a Project and they can realize actions according to their Roles and Permissions.

Re-invite user: When a User exceeds the time to accept or decline the invitation to collaborate in a Project or Organization, you have to re-invite the user again.

Reassign user to another role: Assign another Role to a User when you want to delete the role that they are currently assigned.

Invitation expired: Invitation to a user expires if they do not accept or decline the invitation to collaborate in a Project or Organization in 30 days.

Role: Roles and Permissions are predefined (developer and stakeholder) when a project is created, but the Organization’s designated administrator can create the ones they consider.

Permission: Basic access control unit given to a Role or group of Users to perform certain actions or access in the platform. Each user can be given permissions on the organizational level as well as a project level.

Organization Permissions: Permissions on the organizational level that can be given regardless of the assigned Role. Organization level permissions include access to Projects, Integrations, Payment Methods, Billing, Roles, Users, Blockchain and Audits.

Project Permissions: Permissions specific to a particular Project.

Project Permission Includes Metrics and Logs under Performance, Nodes, Agents and Storage under Provisioning, Applications, Environments, Workflows and Runtime under Pipelines, and API Tokens.

Port: Port through which the Application is going to be exposed.

Repository: Git Repository where the source code of the Application is stored and managed.

Traffic: Type of connection that an Application has. There are three types of Traffic that users can specify using Cuemby Cloud Platform. Internal Traffic is a traffic from the namespace and allows no access to and from the outside. External Traffic allows ingress and egress.

Cool Down Period: How many seconds to wait before scaling down when you no longer need to have as many replicas. Default to 30 seconds.

Polling interval: The interval in seconds the platform should be checking if the Application is complied with the scaling strategy the users have specified. Default to 30 seconds.

Min Replica: Minimum number of replicas to run when the Application is running below the CPU and the Memory Rules and does not need to scale. Default to 1 unit.

Max Replica: Maximum number of replicas to run when the Application is running above the CPU and the Memory Rules and needs to scale. Default to 2 unit.

Instance Type: Capacity of resources assigned to the execution of an Application where you have a CPU and RAM allocation.

Runtime: An environment where an Application is designed to run within.

Admin User: A username of the administrator of the Corporation within the Hyperledger Fabric network.

Admin Password: Password of the administrator of the Corporation within the Hyperledger Fabric network.

Chaincode: Code that defines business logics and transaction rules.

Corporations: In Hyperledger Fabric, they are "Organization Memberships" that contribute resources and assets to the network. They are different from Organizations defined in Cuemby Cloud Platform.

Channel: In Hyperledger Fabric, a "channel" is a private and secure communication channel between selected members of the network, where they can exchange transactions confidentially without being visible to all participants.

MSP: MSP stands for "Membership Service Provider" in Hyperledger Fabric. It is responsible for managing the identity and cryptographic certificates of the members of a Corporation to enable their participation in the Blockchain Network.

CA: Certification Authority in Hyperledger Fabric, which issues, manages and revokes cryptographic certificates for network members.

Peers: Nodes in the Hyperledger Fabric network, which maintain a copy of the ledger and execute Chaincodes.

Orderers: Nodes responsible for accepting and ordering transactions before adding them to blocks in Hyperledger Fabric.

Language: Go, JavaScript (Node.js), Java, or any other supported language used to develop the business logic of smart contracts in Hyperledger Fabric.

Docker Image: It is a Docker image containing the Chaincode's code, its dependencies, and the Runtime Environment, allowing it to be deployed and executed in containers.

Image: A Docker image used to execute the Chaincode in an isolated and portable Environment, ensuring consistency across different nodes in the Hyperledger Fabric network.

The Power

Domain: The domain where the API of the The Power’s nodes will be exposed. By default it will point to the chains.cuemby.io domain at this moment.

Number of Nodes: Number of Nodes that the shard will have.

Crosschain Externals: They are optional and used to connect to Nodes of different shards of the Power through their Host and Port.

Host (Crosschain The Power): Host of The Power’s external shard node  to connect. (ex: c1n1.alpha.cuemby.net).

Port (Crosschain The Power): Port of the External Shard Node to which it is going to connect (eg: 4243).

Nodes (Crosschain The Power): Nodes of the Shard to create, in which you want to establish a connection with the External Chain specified in Host and Port.

Type: Shards, which are, in theory, fragments of a Blockchain.

Tpic Port: Node interconnection protocol. It describes the way the Nodes search for each other and connect to each other. For the first connection you need at least one Node.

Api Port: the external interactions protocol.

Apis port: Secured external interactions protocol. SSL-certificate is required to use Apis.

RPC port: "RPC Port" refers to the Port Number used for Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication. RPC is a protocol that allows a program on one computer to execute code on a remote system over a network.

Substrate

Chain type: Type of Blockchain Network; Public (permissionless) and Private (permissioned).

Nodes: Active participants in the network that validate transactions and maintain the integrity of the Blockchain.

Number of Nodes: These may vary depending on the configuration and goals of the network. A Network with more nodes can process more transactions and be less vulnerable to malicious attacks, but each node adds additional resource cost.

Node name: The name assigned to a Node in the Substrate network.

Port: Network port used to connect to a Substrate node through the Internet.

WS Port: An External port that allows connection via WebSocket API (eg: 9933).

RPC Port: A Network port used to connect to a Substrate node through a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API.

Node Role: Assign a role to the node. Currently, Full, Light and Validator are available.

Node Role – Full: Full Nodes maintain a copy of the transaction history and current state. They also validate transactions, execute smart contracts an store all the data necessary to maintain the network.

Node role - Light: Light Nodes consume less storage an dbandwidthe compared to full Nodes by relying on other Nodes to provide them with specific data when needed. Suitable for resource constrained Applications.

Node Role – Validator: Validator Nodes validate transactions and add them to the Blockchain to maintain the network's security and integrity.
