4. Team Permissions
• Managers can create teams within workspaces / groups
• Teams can be used in access permissions
• Assign members to teams from Manage pages
• Pre-assign teams when users are invited
• Individuals can be in multiple teams
• Think of them as “permission lists”

5. Teams
• Individual permissions?
– Possible to have a team of one person
– Realistically not what “Tom the person” can do, but what “the person in
the role currently performed by Tom” can do
– Very easy to change who is in that role / team
• But also
– „owner‟ permissions on many objects – original creator
– Eg: Uploaded documents may be edited by Document Owner and
managers
