Teams

A team is a group of people inside an organisation, such as "Platform" or "Frontend". Each member holds a role in the team. Projects are units of work; teams are groups of people.

What a team does

A member's role is the highest of their organisation role, their team roles and their project role. So a team can lift its members up: a viewer added to a team as an editor can do what an editor can. A team never lowers anyone, and it does not hold artifacts.

Who can manage teams

Everyone in the organisation can open the Teams tab and see the teams and their members. Owners and admins create teams, add and remove members, and delete teams. You cannot give a team role above your own.

Create a team

1. Open your organisations, pick one, then open Teams.
2. Select New team.
3. Enter a Name. A Slug is suggested from it; use lowercase letters, digits and dashes.
4. Select Create team.

Add or remove members

Open the team and select Add member. Choose a Member and their Role in this team, then select Add to team. Only people already in the organisation can join a team; to bring someone new in, invite them first.

Adding someone who is already in the team keeps whichever role is higher.

Remove takes someone out of the team. They lose what the team gave them, but stay in the organisation.

Delete a team

Open the team and select Delete team. That ends every grant it carried at once. Its members stay in the organisation with their own roles.
