Managing Users with Teams

For larger organizations the Teams feature allows you to define groups of Users and easily manage their roles and permissions.

Teams make it easier to manage roles and projects for a group of users. Users who are a member of a Team will inherit the roles and projects that are assigned to the team.

The Company Admin role is required in order to manage the users & permissions for each Team.

Note you can still assign permissions directly to a User if needed. The permissions granted via Teams are additively combined with permissions assigned directly to a User.

Viewing Teams

To manage Teams in your organization, navigate to the Admin area and click on the Teams tab.

If you can't see the Teams tab, the feature may not be enabled for your Company yet. Contact your Timescapes Account Manager to request access if you'd like to start using the Teams feature.
