How to create teams

Teams let you group users by department, region, or function. They help you organize your entity, manage document access, and see activity at a team level across GetAccept.

This article covers how to create a team, add and manage members, set up team notifications, and edit or remove a team.

Create a team

  1. Click your profile image in the top right corner

  2. Select Settings

  3. Under Entity settings, go to Teams

  4. Click Add team +

  5. Enter a name for the team and click Add.

Add and manage members from the team page

Team membership is managed directly from the team page. Open a team from the Teams list to add people, change their roles, or remove them, either one at a time or in bulk.

A user can belong to more than one team

Users can be members of more than one team at the same time. Adding someone to a new team no longer removes them from their existing teams, so people who work across departments or regions can sit in every team that applies to them.

Add members to a team

  1. Open the team from the Teams list

  2. Add the users you want to include

  3. Save your changes

Manage members in bulk

On the team page you can act on several members at once instead of editing them individually:

  • Bulk change role — update the role for multiple members in one action

  • Bulk remove — remove several members from the team at once

  • Bulk add with a specific role — add multiple users and assign them a role in the same step

Manage a person's teams from their profile

You can also manage membership from an individual user's profile, which is useful when you're working with one person rather than a whole team:

  1. Go to Manage users in Settings

  2. Click the user you want to update

  3. Select or remove teams from the team field in their profile

Set a team notification email

A team can send a copy of its notifications to a shared inbox in addition to its individual members. This is useful when you want a whole team, or a shared address like sales@yourcompany.com, to have visibility of team activity.

Set an additional notification email on the team to route team-level notifications to that inbox as well as to individual members.

Edit, deactivate, or delete a team

You can update a team at any time from the Teams page:

  • Rename: edit the name of the team name

  • Change status: toggle a team between Active and Inactive

  • Delete: remove a team permanently

When you delete a team, the users themselves are not deleted from the system. They are simply removed from that team.
