Teams
What this is
Section titled “What this is”Teams are named groups of account members that you use to grant workspace access in bulk. A team maps to one or more workspaces with a chosen role (viewer, editor, or admin). When you add a user to a team, they get access to every workspace the team is granted on. There are two team types: system teams (fixed, managed by the platform) and custom teams (created and managed by account owners or team admins).
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”Left navigation → Account → Teams (/account/teams)
The Teams page is in the collapsible Account group at the bottom of the left navigation sidebar.
Teams list
Section titled “Teams list”The Teams list is a table of every team in the account, with search, filters, and pagination. Each row shows the team name (editable inline for custom teams with rename permission), the member count, and a Members button to open the team detail panel.

Workspace access grants
Section titled “Workspace access grants”You can grant a custom team access to one or more workspaces with a chosen role. The Workspace access panel in the team detail dialog shows the current grants, and team admins can add, change, or remove them there.
How workspace grants work
Section titled “How workspace grants work”Each grant is a pair: (workspace, role). The available workspace roles are:
| Role | What it allows |
|---|---|
| Viewer | Read-only access: view tests, runs, and results in the workspace. |
| Editor | Read-write: create and edit tests, manage projects and secrets, trigger runs. |
| Admin | Full workspace control: manage members, rename the workspace, and edit all resources. |
A team member inherits the workspace role through the team. A team admin inherits the same workspace role, not a higher one, because workspace roles are separate from team roles.
How to manage workspace grants
Section titled “How to manage workspace grants”- Open the team detail panel for a custom team.
- The Workspace access section shows current grants: workspace name and current role.
- Change a grant role: use the role dropdown next to the workspace name.
- Remove a grant: click Remove next to the workspace row.
- Add a new grant: select a workspace from the Add workspace dropdown and choose a role, then click Add workspace grant.
- Click Save workspace grants to save all changes. A toast confirms success.
Tips & gotchas
Section titled “Tips & gotchas”- System teams cannot be renamed, created, or deleted. Only the platform manages system team membership (e.g. the Owners team). Users manage custom teams.
- Team role vs workspace role are separate. A user’s role within the team (
team_member/team_admin) controls who can manage the team. The workspace role (viewer/editor/admin) controls what they can do inside a workspace. The two are independent. - Multiple grant paths. A user may get workspace access from several sources: direct workspace assignment (set by workspace admins) and one or more team grants. Their effective role is the most permissive one.
- Create team button disabled? You need account owner or team admin on the Owners team. Hover over the button to see the requirement in a tooltip.
- Pagination. The teams list paginates at 5 teams per page. Use the search filter to find a team quickly when the list is long.
