Adding your project to a team

You can add projects to teams to manage permissions and improve project discoverability.

Who can use this feature

Organization owners or people with the team maintainer role and admin permissions on a project can add a project to a team.

About adding projects to teams

You can add projects to your team to give the whole team collaborator access to their projects. When you add a project to a team, that project is listed on the team's projects page, making it easier for members to identify which projects a particular team uses.

Teams are granted read permissions on any project they are added to. This permission is added to existing permissions for the project and for individual team members, ensuring that any higher permissions are retained. For more information about setting permissions for teams and individual contributors, see "Managing access to your projects."
