Use teams to give specific read, write, or admin access to repositories. Teams can also let you create groups of members with similar interests for easier collaboration.
Team visibility
Teams can be visible or secret:
- Visible teams can be viewed and @mentioned by every organization member, even if they aren't organization owners or members of those teams. If you make every team in your organization visible, your members will be able to use team @mentions across your organization.
- Secret teams are only visible to the people on the team and people with owner permissions. They're great for hiding teams with sensitive names or team members, such as those used for working with external partners or clients.
