Team Management

Automatically generate a secure endpoint with an independent domain name for each blocklet: After installing a blocklet, ABT Node will automatically generate a https address with an independent domain for this blocklet, thereby enhancing the accessibility, isolation and security of the blocklet
Support the establishment of an authenticated websocket connection: through the authentication service provided by ABT Node, blocklet developers can add authentication capabilities to websocket connections with simple configuration
Blocklet SDK supports permission management API: Blocklet developers can use Blocklet SDK to set and manage permissions (based on RBAC)
Support setting application ID based on ETH format for Blocklet

Redesign the page and interaction of team management, passport management and permission management
