Teams

📘

Under the Free and Essentials Plans, the tabs under the Team dashboard are limited to Main, Integrations, Members, and Activity Stream.

Many IT organizations are divided into operational units. This allows them to manage, design and increase the efficiency of their business operations to meet their internal requirements. Some organize by technical specialization, others by activity, some by services, by geography, or any combination of those (or others). Whichever structure the organization chooses, these operational units remain responsible for the problems which occur in their environment.

Authorization Constraints While Building a Team Segmented Structure

As noted in user roles, account owners and account admins can access, create, modify and delete any configuration within your organization. Furthermore, an account owner/admin can also assign an existing integration, escalation or schedule to a particular team, regardless of whether the configuration is global or already assigned to another team. An account owner/admin can also convert a team-restricted configuration into global.

Team admins without account owner/admin rights can access, create, modify and delete integrations, escalations and schedules only if the configuration belongs to a team that this user is admin of. However, they cannot assign these configurations into another team and they cannot convert these configurations into global.

Team Members

Teams are built up of users and once assigned to a team, they become team members. In OpsGenie, a user can be a member of multiple teams. Note that before adding a user to a team, the user has to first exist in OpsGenie. To accomplish this, users should be invited to your account. They will become enabled/active once they have signed in to OpsGenie for the first time. Users may also be given specific roles on a team. For example, some users may be granted the "Team Admin" role, in order to allow them to handle certain administrative tasks on behalf of the team.

Default Team Roles

Start from the available predefined roles which are appropriate for most use cases. OpsGenie provides two predefined team roles:

• Team Admin
• Team Member

📘

When a team admin without global Edit Configuration user right creates a new escalation, schedule or integration, created configuration will automatically be assigned to the team that the user is admin for. Refer to the Teams and Team Segmentation for further information about the teams and their configurations.
