Who this is for

Admins with Super Admin permission who want to group workspace users into teams.

What you'll achieve

Teams that reflect your company's departments or groups, making it easier to filter recognition feeds and user exports by the people who matter most to each part of the organization.

Before you begin

  • You have Super Admin permission

  • You know which teams to create β€” team names must be unique across your workspace

Steps

Open the Teams page under Admin β†’ Users & Permissions.

Creating a team

  1. Select Create New β€” the team dialog opens.

  2. Enter a team name β€” this must be unique in your workspace (names are compared regardless of capitalisation, so "Marketing" and "marketing" are treated as the same name). Names can be between 3 and 100 characters.

  3. Optionally select a team manager β€” choose any active user in the workspace. You can skip this and add a manager later.

  4. Save β€” the team appears in the table straight away.

Editing a team

Select the edit action on any row in the Teams table. From here you can rename the team, assign a different manager, or clear the manager entirely.

Adding users to teams

There are three ways to assign users to teams, depending on how many people you need to update.

Individual

Open a user's profile from the Users page and select the teams they belong to. A user can belong to multiple teams β€” for example both Marketing and Design.

Bulk

Select several users on the Users page, then choose Assign Teams from the bulk actions. The teams you pick are applied to everyone in the selection at once.

CSV invite

When inviting users by CSV, include a teams column with comma-separated team names. Each name must match an existing team exactly β€” rows with unknown names will fail validation. See the invite article for full CSV details.

Updating a user's teams β€” whether individually or in bulk β€” replaces their entire team list with the new selection. If a user belongs to teams A and B and you assign only team C, they are removed from A and B. Make sure the selection includes every team the user should belong to.

What to expect after

Once teams are in place, a few things change across the workspace:

  • Recognition and celebration feeds gain a My Teams filter, so users can focus on activity from their own teams.

  • User exports can be filtered by team, which is useful for pulling reports scoped to specific departments.

  • User profiles and the admin Users table display team memberships, making it easy to see where someone sits at a glance.

Teams do not affect permissions or recognition budgets β€” those are managed separately through permission groups and budget settings.
