Understanding a Team

A team can have users, teams, and departments. When creating a team, you must select one person as the team owner.

Note: The system administrator and users with the appropriate role can access these features.

While determining a user’s ability to create and maintain teams, consider the following rules.

A user cannot:

Add himself or herself to an existing team.
Remove himself or herself from a team.
Remove the system administrator from a team.
Delete a team.

When a user is added to a team, the security of the particular team is defaulted to the profile set on the Security tab. The security profile can be modified for every team, a user belongs to. Changing a user’s security profile on a team does not affect the user’s default profile, or the profile in any other team.

If a user has multiple security profiles (for example, the user is added to a team as a nested team or department and is also a direct member of the parent team), the security profiles share the same seccode (owner). While determining security access for a field, multiple profiles may be returned. In the Web Client, access is determined by combining the maximum access of all profiles assigned to that user and owner.
