Teams
Group members together and assign them to boards
Teams let you organize your members into groups that reflect how your organization actually works. Instead of adding people to boards one at a time, you can assign an entire team and give everyone access in a single step.
What are teams?
A team is a named group of members within your organization. Common examples include:
- Engineering -- developers and QA
- Design -- designers and researchers
- Support -- customer-facing team members
- Marketing -- content and communications
Teams have no built-in hierarchy -- they are simply a way to group people together for easier board access management.
Creating a team
To create a new team:
- Go to Settings > Teams
- Click Create team
- Enter a name for the team
- Click Save
Your new team starts empty. The next step is to add members to it.
Adding and removing team members
Once you have created a team, you can add members from your organization to it.
- Open the team you want to manage
- Click Add member
- Select the people you want to add
- Click Save
To remove someone from a team, open the team, find the member, and click the remove button next to their name.
A person can belong to multiple teams at the same time. For example, a tech lead might be in both "Engineering" and "Product" teams.
Assigning teams to boards
The main benefit of teams is assigning them to boards. When you assign a team to a board, every member of that team automatically gets access to that board.
To assign a team to a board:
- Open the board's settings
- Go to the Teams section
- Select the team you want to assign
- Click Add
All current members of that team can now see and work on the board. If you add new members to the team later, they will also get access to the board automatically.
Removing a team from a board
When you remove a team from a board, all members of that team lose access to the board (unless they also have individual access as a Board Member). Any tickets currently assigned to those members will be flagged so you can reassign them.
Who can manage teams?
Only Admins can create, edit, and delete teams. Admins can also manage team membership and assign teams to boards. Team Members and Customers cannot modify team settings.
