Overview
The Teams feature in BigGeo Studio is designed to help administrators organize and manage team members effectively. Unlike area-based permissions and roles, which control access levels, Teams provide a flexible way to group users by department, project, or any other category that suits your organization’s needs. Teams offer a convenient structure without imposing specific permissions or roles, allowing you to keep your workspace organized and make user management more efficient.
What are teams in BigGeo Studio?
Teams in BigGeo Studio are organizational groups that allow admins to sort team members into logical categories. You might create teams based on departments (e.g., GIS Team, Marketing Team), project groups, or roles within your organization. Teams do not have set permissions or access levels; instead, they serve as a tool for grouping users, making it easier to select multiple team members for product spaces or communication.
Here’s what you can do with Teams:
Organize Team Members: Group users into teams that reflect your organization’s structure or specific project needs.
Easily Assign Access to Product Spaces: When creating or managing a product space, you can bulk select all members of a team to quickly grant access without selecting individual members one by one.
Flexible and Dynamic Setup: Create, rename, and organize teams however you see fit, without predefined roles or access controls.
Key Features of Teams
Flexible Grouping: BigGeo Studio allows you to create and organize teams based on your unique organizational needs. You’re free to add or remove users from teams at any time, ensuring that teams stay relevant to changing projects or organizational structures.
No Fixed Permissions or Roles: Teams do not come with inherent permissions or access controls. Instead, permissions are assigned at the individual level, making teams a purely organizational tool without affecting access.
Bulk Selection for Product Spaces: When setting up or managing a product space, teams offer a convenient way to select all relevant team members at once. However, each team member’s actual permissions will still depend on their individual roles in specific areas.
Getting Started with Teams
Create a New Team:
Navigate to the My Team section in BigGeo Studio.
Select the option to create a new team and give it a name that aligns with the group’s purpose (e.g., “GIS Team” or “Data Providers”).
Add Members to the Team:
After creating the team, add members by selecting their names from the available list of team members in your organization.
Team members can belong to multiple teams, allowing flexibility in grouping.
Use Teams for Bulk Selection in Product Spaces:
When setting up or managing a product space, you can choose a team to quickly select all its members at once.
Remember, each team member’s actual permissions within the product space are determined by their individual roles (e.g., Admin or Standard) and not by their team membership.
