Team Management - Players¶

Abstract

This article details how players join and manage a team. For more information on signing up and joining a team, please refer to the article titled Getting Started in Cloud CTF.

Joining a Team¶

When joining a CTF, players must choose between playing solo, joining a team, or creating a team. If you would like to join an existing team, select Join a Team when you reach the following menu:

The Player Options are listed in descending order: play solo, join a team, and create a team.

This will give you the option to select the existing team that you would like to join. Once you have selected your team, press Join. This will send a request to the Team Leader, who will then need to either approve or deny your request to join. You will be unable to submit challenge flags until you have been approved.

The drop-down menu is located in the middle right of the window.

After your request has been submitted, the following page will display until you are approved. You may cancel your request to join the team before approval by the team, and request to join another team.

The text says, "You are requesting to join this team. You can start playing this competition once the team leader has approved your request." Underneath the text, there is a "leave this team" button.

Managing a Team¶

Approving a Team Member Request¶

Team Leaders have the ability to manage their team. Players must be approved by the Team Leader before joining the team, and the Team Leader may dismiss team members from the team at any time.

Approving a Team Member Request from a Notification¶

Player requests will display a notification next to the profile icon in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.

Displays a profile icon with a red notification in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Clicking on your profile icon will display your name and email, along with any notifications you have. The request will indicate the player's name:

Click on the request, and a pop-up will display with the options to either reject or approve the request.

The "cancel" button is in the bottom-left corner of the pop-up. The "reject" and "approve" buttons are in the bottom-right corner.

Approving a Team Member Request from the Team Page¶

Team Leaders can further manage their team from the My Team page of Cloud CTF. Here, you can view current and pending members of the team. Select the Edit icon to manage your team.

In this pop-up, you can change your team name (if allowed by the Cloud CTF Admin), remove current members of the team with the "trash" icon, and approve or deny team requests with the "thumbs-up" icon. Please sure to save any changes by selecting Confirm when you are done.

In descending order, the option to change the team name is available under "Name", current members are located under "Members", and then pending members are under "Pending Members". The "cancel" and "confirm" buttons are located in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up.
