Teams
Group members and apply container/project access in bulk
Teams let you group organisation members and reuse that group when sharing work. Instead of adding people one-by-one to each container or project, you can link a team and apply access in bulk.
What Teams include
A team has:
- A name
- An owner (the creator)
- Members (organisation users added to that team)
- Linked resources (containers and projects)
Teams are organisation-scoped. They are not available in personal workspaces.
Enable Teams for a workspace
An organisation admin must turn on Teams first:
- Go to Settings > Workspace > [organisation] > Teams
- Enable Teams
When enabled, the Teams area appears in the workspace sidebar for that organisation.
Team membership
On a team page, you can:
- Add organisation members to the team
- Remove members from the team
- See current members and team owner
Linking Teams to containers and projects
On a team page, use Connected containers and Connected projects to link resources.
- Linking a container to a team applies that team to the container.
- Linking a project to a team applies that team to the project.
- If you link a team to a project inside a container, MONOid also ensures the team is linked to that container.
You can also add/remove teams directly from container/project Shared With panels.
Permission behavior (explicit)
Access matrix
| Action | Organisation admin | Organisation member | Team member |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enable or disable Teams for a workspace | Yes | No | No |
| Create a team | Yes | Yes, when Teams is enabled | Yes, when Teams is enabled |
| Add or remove team members | Yes, with management rights | Only where allowed by workspace rules | Only where allowed by workspace rules |
| Link a team to a container or project | Yes, with management rights | No | No |
| View a linked container | Yes, if otherwise permitted by workspace access | Only if directly shared or granted by a linked team | Yes, while team link grants access |
| View a linked project | Yes, if otherwise permitted by workspace access | Only if directly shared or granted by a linked team | Yes, while team link grants access |
Container links
When a team is linked to a container:
- Team members are granted container access in bulk.
- Existing and newly added team members can access that container.
- Access is removed when a user leaves the team, unless another linked team still grants access to that same container.
Project links
When a team is linked to a project:
- Team members can access that project via team membership.
- If the project is in a container, container-level access still applies.
Unlinking and deleting
- Unlinking a team from a container removes the team link and linked project links in that container.
- Removing a user from a team may remove container membership if no other linked team still covers that user/container pair.
- Deleting a team removes its memberships and resource links.
Scenarios
A user belongs to two teams linked to the same container
If Team A and Team B both grant access to the same container, removing the user from Team A does not remove access while the user still belongs to Team B. Access is removed only when no remaining team or direct share grants the same container.
A team is linked to a project inside a container
When you link a team to a project inside a container, MONOid also ensures the team is linked to that container. This prevents a project from being accessible without the parent container context.
A team is unlinked from a container
Unlinking a team from a container removes the team link and linked project links in that container. Use this when a team should no longer see that area of work.
Offboarding checklist
When someone leaves an organisation workspace:
- Remove the user from the organisation membership list.
- Remove the user from any teams they belonged to.
- Check linked containers/projects where overlapping team grants may still apply.
- Revoke or rotate any API keys the user created if those keys should no longer be active.
- Review organisation integrations if the departing user owned the external account connection.
- Confirm the user no longer appears in team member lists or resource sharing panels.
Constraints
- Teams work only in organisation workspaces.
- Team and linked resources must belong to the same organisation.
- Only users with management rights can link/unlink teams on containers/projects.
