Manage teams in an organization

Who can manage teams in an organization?

Organization admins

Organization admins have the highest level of access in an organization. From the Teams tab in Admin, they can:

• Join any visible teams as a team admin. Visible teams include teams with the following audience access:
  • Anyone at [Organization name]
  • Only those invited, visible
• Update a team without joining it first, including the team’s:
  • Name
  • Access settings
  • Members and their permissions on the team
  • Icon
  • Description
• See the name of any hidden teams in the organization.
• Join any hidden team without an owner.

Workspace admins Enterprise

Workspace admins and organization admins have the same abilities when managing teams. While organization admins can manage teams across the entire organization, workspace admins can only manage teams in workspaces where they are an admin.

Team admins

A team admin can manage all the settings of a single team, including people, resources, and access to the team within the organization. They can also delete the team.
