This article explains how to create and manage teams in MaintainX.
A team is a group of users who share similar functions or responsibilities in an organization. In a team, you can have team administrators and members.
Team administrators can add or remove members from a team. Team members cannot. Team administrator and member designations are separate from user roles.
For instance, in an opening shift team that starts early in the morning, assigning a Full User as the Team Administrator allows them to manage the roster without relying on Administrators, who might arrive later, for updates. This simplifies team management.

You can only set a team as an escalation team in the MaintainX web application. You can always set it at a later time.

Manage Teammates​
Only Administrators can access the Manage Teammates pages, which is available only on the MaintainX web app.
Through the Manage Teammates page, you can see all the teams in your organization and edit them if needed.
To access the Manage Teammates page:
- From the sidebar, select the Settings menu.
- In the ORGANIZATION SETTINGS section, select Manage Teammates.
- Select the Teams tab.
On this page, you have the following sections:
- My Teams: My teams are teams that you're part of.
- Other Teams: Other teams are the rest of the teams in your organization that you're not a part of.
To see detailed information about each team, select (more options) next to the team name.
