10. Teams

A Team is a subdivision of an organization with associated users, projects, credentials, and permissions. Teams provide a means to implement role-based access control schemes and delegate responsibilities across organizations. For instance, permissions may be granted to a whole Team rather than each user on the Team.

You can create as many Teams of users as make sense for your Organization. Each Team can be assigned permissions, just as with Users. Teams can also scalably assign ownership for Credentials, preventing multiple interface click-throughs to assign the same Credentials to the same user.

Access the Teams page by clicking Teams from the left navigation bar. The team list may be sorted and searched by Name or Organization.

Clicking the Edit (edit-button) button next to the list of Teams allows you to edit details about the team. You can also review Users and Permissions associated with this Team.

The set of privileges assigned to Teams that provide the ability to read, modify, and administer projects, inventories, and other automation controller elements are permissions. By default, the Team is given the "read" permission (also called a role).

Permissions must be set explicitly via an Inventory, Project, Job Template, or within the Organization view.

You can also add teams, individual, or multiple users and assign them permissions at the object level (projects, inventories, job templates, and workflow templates) as well. This feature reduces the time for an organization to onboard many users at one time.
