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.
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
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
Project Leadership Delegation
Team Organizers can designate Project Managers as Team Admins to handle day-to-day team management while maintaining oversight
Department Management
For organizations with multiple departments using the platform, department heads can be assigned as Team Admins to manage their specific teams
Cross-Functional Team Coordination
When working across departments, Team Admins can efficiently manage membership and permissions without requiring account administrator intervention
Temporary Authority Assignment
Designate backup Team Admins during vacations or leaves of absence to ensure continuous team operation
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.
