You can group organization members into teams that reflect your company or group's structure with cascading access permissions and mentions.
About teams
Teams are groups of organization members that reflect your company or group's structure with cascading access permissions and mentions.
Creating a team
You can create independent or nested teams to manage repository permissions and mentions for groups of people.
Adding organization members to a team
People with owner or team maintainer permissions can add organization members to teams. People with owner permissions can also add non-members to a team and the organization.
Renaming a team
Team maintainers and organization owners can edit the name and description of a team.
Changing team visibility
Team maintainers and organization owners can determine whether a team is visible or secret.
Moving a team in your organization’s hierarchy
Team maintainers and organization owners can nest a team under a parent team, or change or remove a nested team's parent.
Requesting to add a child team
If you have maintainer permissions in a team, you can request to nest an existing team under your team in your organization’s hierarchy.
Removing organization members from a team
People with owner or team maintainer permissions can remove team members from a team. This may be necessary if a person no longer needs access to a repository the team grants, or if a person is no longer focused on a team's projects.
Deleting a team
Organization owners can delete teams at any time from the team's settings page.
