Managing teams

5 minute readIdentity management
The account management features described in this topic apply to all CloudBees support and training environments. For more information about managing accounts in other CloudBees products, refer to the documentation for those products.

A team is a body of users that are grouped together within an organization. Organization administrators can create or delete teams, and add or remove team members from a team. Organization administrators are not automatically added to the team that they create.

Support can be enabled for the team, which allows team members to create CloudBees Support tickets.

When support is disabled, any tickets submitted do not receive support.

To receive support, support tickets must be filed using the exact same email address listed as a member of the organization. To access training on CloudBees University, also use the exact same email address listed as a member of the organization.

Creating and managing teams requires administrative privileges for the organization.
