Typically, a workspace has two groups who can be given permissions, 'Members' and 'Managers'.
However, some members can be given extra permissions in areas by using teams.
Teams allows you to create groups of members who have permissions in areas that normal members will not have. For example, if you wanted a folder to only be accessed by members from a certain region, you can create a team for that region.
To create teams you will need to be a workspace manager. To create a team:
- Select 'Manage workspace' (three cogs icon) in the top right and select 'Members & Teams'
- Select 'Teams' from the three tabs at top. Now, select 'Create a new team'
- Give the Team an appropriate name and a description. You now select 'Save' and exit or select 'Save then add another' if you are creating multiple teams.
- Once done, you will now see a list of your created Teams. Select 'Manage members' and tick next to the members you want to add to the team. When inviting new members, under 'Permissions for invited user(s)' you can also select a team to add them to. You can also invite existing members, but tick a team they are not in, to quickly give lots of members a new teams permission.
