Teams

This guide walks you through creating a team, adding members, and sharing projects with the group. By the end, you'll have a team set up and connected to the projects they need.

Create a team

The quickest way: ask the agent.

Create a team called Product for our product managers

The agent creates the team and adds you as the owner. You can start adding members right away.

To create one manually:

1. Open Settings, then navigate to Workspace → Teams.

2. Enter a team name and click Create. Obvious assigns a color and URL-friendly slug automatically.

Your new team appears in the teams list. You're the team owner by default.

Note: Only workspace owners and admins can create teams. If you don't see the create option, ask a workspace admin.

Add members

1. Click your team in the teams list to open its settings.

2. Select the Members tab.

3. Type a person's email in the member field. Obvious suggests matching workspace members as you type.

4. Click Add. The person joins immediately as a Member.

The person must already belong to your workspace. If the email doesn't match anyone, you'll see a warning — invite them to the workspace first through Settings → Members.

Team roles

Every team member has one of three roles:

Owner

Full control over the team — add or remove members, change settings, delete the team. The person who creates the team starts as the owner.

Admin

Same management capabilities as the owner. Admins can add and remove members, update team settings, and manage which projects the team can access.

Member

Access the team's shared projects based on granted permissions (view or edit). Members can't change team settings or manage other members.

To change someone's role, open the team's Members tab, click the role next to their name, and select a new one. Only owners and admins can change roles.

Tip: Workspace owners and admins can manage any team in the workspace, regardless of their team role.

Share a project with a team

Instead of adding eight people to a project one by one, share it with the team.

1. Open the project you want to share.

2. Click Share in the toolbar.

3. Search for the team name and select it.

4. Choose a permission level — View or Edit.

The entire team gets access instantly. When someone joins the team later, they pick up that project access automatically. When someone leaves, access is removed — no manual cleanup.

Warning: Deleting a team removes it from all shared projects and revokes access for every member. This can't be undone.
