      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.

      Adding Users to Teams

      All users added to a Team will receive the same role and permissions that are assigned to the team. To add users to a team:

      Managing Team Projects & Permissions

      Adding projects to a team gives all users in the team access to that project with the specified role. To add projects to a Team:

      2. The lower portion of the Team window shows what Role(s) will be given for each Project.
      3. Select the  Project(s) and the Role that should be given.

      If needed, a Team can give different Roles to different Projects. For example, you might want a Team to grant Standard-User on most projects, and also grant Power-User access on a few specific projects. Click the + button underneath the Role dropdown to add additional roles as needed.
