New Feature: Team Admin Role

We're excited to announce a significant enhancement to our Teams functionality with the introduction of Team Admin roles. Building on the success of our Team Organizer capabilities, this new feature provides more granular control over team management, particularly beneficial for larger customers with more complex organizational structures.

What's New

• Two-Tiered Team Roles: Teams now support two distinct roles - "Member" and "Team Admin"

• Role Assignment: Easily assign or change team member roles via inline field edits

• Default Role Assignment: All new members are automatically assigned the "Member" role

• Enhanced Delegation: Team Organizers can now delegate administrative tasks to Team Admins

Key Benefits

• Improved Team Governance: Establish clear administrative hierarchies within teams

• Reduced Administrative Burden: Distribute team management responsibilities effectively

• Streamlined Onboarding: Maintain proper permissions while simplifying the user addition process

• Enhanced Scalability: Better support for organizations with large team structures

Common Use Cases

1. Project Leadership Delegation

   • Team Organizers can designate Project Managers as Team Admins to handle day-to-day team management while maintaining oversight

2. Department Management

   • For organizations with multiple departments using the platform, department heads can be assigned as Team Admins to manage their specific teams

3. Cross-Functional Team Coordination

   • When working across departments, Team Admins can efficiently manage membership and permissions without requiring account administrator intervention

4. Temporary Authority Assignment

   • Designate backup Team Admins during vacations or leaves of absence to ensure continuous team operation

Important Notes/FAQ

• Team Admins have essentially the same capabilities as Team Organizers within their assigned teams

• The Team Admin role applies specifically to team management and does not have any connection/impact to Account Administrators

• Teams themselves cannot be assigned as Team Admins - this role is reserved for individual users

• Any account role (User, Board Creator, Team Organizer, Account Administrator) can be assigned as a Team Admin

• Team Admins are only given team management capabilities within the scope of their existing permissions e.g. a Team Admin can only add boards where they have the proper board permissions (Board Manager or above) to their Team

This enhancement is part of our ongoing commitment to provide flexible and scalable team management solutions as team adoption continues to grow across our customer base.
