Creating Teams¶

New teams can be created if the System Admin has Enable Team Creation set to true from the System Console.

Methods to Create a Team¶

Teams can be created from the main menu, system home page or team sign in page. The person who creates a team will automatically be given the Team Administrator role for that team.

System Home Page¶

Navigate to the web address of your system, https://domain.com/. Sign in using your credentials. Click Create a new team to be guided through the rest of the set up steps. If this option is not visible on the web page, then the System Admin has Enable Team Creation set to false. It is necessary to have an existing account on the system in order to create a team from the system home page, so if you do not have an account you will need to create one.
