Fautore Coterie
The Fautore "Coterie" creates working spaces for tribe participants with "Chief" privilege. If the tribe were to be thought of as an apartment building, Coteries would be the individual apartments. The Coterie Chief would be the apartment lessor who controls everything that happened in the apartment. The Chief makes the rules and defines who is allowed to visit the apartment. The guests to the apartment must follows the defined rules and are allowed the benefits of the apartment, or Coterie, made available to them by the Chief.
More literally speaking, each Fautore Chief is assigned a Coterie. The Chief then can select from resources and users registered to the tribe and create rules that marry the two.
Operational Characteristics
- All tribes must have at least one Coterie.
- All groups are created within Coteries.
- A Coterie member must first be a Tribe member.
- A Tribe applicant can be accepted by a Chief if the Chief's Coterie is requested
- Only the Chieftain can accept Tribe applicants that have not specified a Coterie.
- Coterie Chiefs determine the Tribe members that can access the Coterie.
- Coterie Chiefs determine the Tribe registered apps available to members.
- All instructions defined within Coteries.
- All instruction assignments are done from within Coteries.
- The default Coterie is named the same as the Tribe
- The Chieftain is also the Chief of the default Coterie
Use Case
Scenario
A single person household has installed Fautore so the Tribe is defined with a single Coterie for simple instruction definition and assignment.
Characteristics
- The Coterie will be essentially invisible to the person using the Tribe.
- The default Coterie, named for the Tribe, will be the only option when defining instructions.
Scenario
A household of family members all want some degree of control within the domain. Fautore is installed and the Tribe Chieftain creates a Coterie for each family participant making each of them a Chief of their Coterie.
Characteristics
- Each family participant will be defaulted to their only Coterie when signing in.
- Each family participant will be able to select Coterie members from the tribal registry. (Users table)
- Each Chief can create instructions that will be visible only to Coterie members.
- Each Chief can great groups that will be visible only to Coterie members.
- Each Coterie essentially becomes a personal working space for each Chief.
Scenario
The family tribe example above is taken a step further in that one of the parents wants to manage some work communications through Fautore, but doesn't want to mix family business with, well... business business. All characteristics of the Family Tribe still apply, except that an additional Coterie has been created for the clever workaholic parent so that they are now the Chief of two Coteries.
Characteristics
- One Coterie must be selected as the "Default Coterie."
- The default Coterie will be used by Fautore anytime there is ambiguity as to how to apply an instruction.
- The default Coterie will be the first choice when creating instructions.
- The default Coterie will be the one used if none is defined when creating and changing Coterie configuration items.
