Organization owners can change the parent of any team. Team maintainers can change a team's parent if they are maintainers in both the child team and the parent team. Team maintainers without maintainer permissions in the child team can request to add a parent or child team. For more information, see Requesting to add or change a parent team and Requesting to add a child team.
Child teams inherit the access permissions of the parent team. For more information on team hierarchies, see "About teams."
Tip
- You cannot change a team's parent to a secret team. For more information, see About teams.
- You cannot nest a parent team beneath one of its child teams.
