Mapping teams to objects

In addition to assigning a team to an object (such as a component or application) when you create the object, you can use the Teams page to map teams to objects.

Before you begin

To map a team to an object, you must be a member of the team and have the manage teams subpermission for that type of object.

About this task

You can assign teams to many of the items that you create. Teams can be assigned when an item is created (in the associated Create New item window), and by using the Configuration page for the item. Or teams can be mapped to objects with the object mapping security feature as described here. When a team is assigned to an item, such as an environment, only team members with the appropriate permissions can interact with the affected item.
Note:

All user-created objects are automatically assigned to the System Team. Because the System Team's Administrator role has all permissions granted for all Standard security types, System Team users with that role automatically has all permissions for all objects. Initially, only the admin user is assigned to the Administrator role. Neither the System Team or the admin user can be deleted.
