Manage Teams
A team defines which members can access which projects within an organization. Every project belongs to exactly one team, and only members of that team can work with it.
ImportantThis feature is only available on the Business plan and above. See Update Plan & Add-ons to upgrade.
Key Concepts#
Before managing teams, keep these points in mind:
- Team management covers add/remove members, set roles, manage associated projects, and control sharing scopes.
- Each project belongs to exactly one team.
- Team members can access the projects within their team.
- To keep your projects separate, manage them in different teams.
- Assign Editor only to members who need to edit and make everyone else a Viewer.
- Only members with an Editor seat in the organization can be assigned the Editor team role.
Team Roles#
Roles within the team are divided into the following.
| Role | What they can do | Required seat type |
|---|---|---|
| Editor | Manage projects and edit data in the team | Editor seat |
| Viewer | View web maps and data shared within the team | Editor seat or Viewer seat |
A member with an Editor seat can be assigned Viewer in individual teams. A member with a Viewer seat can only be assigned Viewer and cannot be assigned Editor. See Seats and Roles for details, and Permissions for the full list of what Editors and Viewers can do.
