Team members are users of the company who form a logical unit, such as a department. To add team members, search for them and select them in the appropriate menu. You can use the search box at the top of the screen to find specific users or groups more quickly.
You can also add entire user groups defined in your company settings to your team. If a group is a member of one or more teams, simply add the new user to that group and they will automatically gain membership rights to all related teams.
There are two types of team members:
- Internal Member - This is a user who must be an internal member of the company and is required to have a license (see the link to internal member in the company). An internal team member can have the following rights:
- Administrator - This member has access to the team settings (unlike a supervisor, this member does not have access to all project data).
- Supervisor - This member has access to all tasks of the team, regardless of the task being tracked.
- Can add subteams - This user is allowed to add subteams within the team.
- External Member - This is a user who is in a company of type External User or External User with licensing. An external team member can have the same permissions as an internal member (with the exception of admin rights), but these rights only apply to data with privacy set to public.
Team member rights
- Administrator - The user has the highest level of permissions within the team. You can tell by the gear icon called "Settings " in the upper right corner of the team detail header. This permission is only available to an internal team member.
- Supervisor - This permission allows the user to see all team tasks, regardless of the task tracker, but with respect to the user type (internal/external). The supervisor does not have the right to edit team members. There are two options for setting this permission:
- Read only permission - The user cannot make changes to tasks that he/she has the right to only through this permission.
- Write and read permission - The user has the right to both read and edit tasks that he/she has the right to through this permission.
- Can add subteams - The user can add subteams within a team.
User groups as team members
If a user group is a member of the team , it is a so-called exception. In this case, the team member type (e.g. internal/external) is not defined directly for the group, but this type is taken from the user type in the company, and the rights are evaluated accordingly. At the same time, it is not possible to assign administrator rights to a user group.
