Add team members

If you created a team yourself, you're automatically its owner. In the Members area, you can invite other users or roles.

  1. In the team menu, open Members and click + Add.

  2. Select the users and/or roles to add to the team. You can add several at once if they should all get the same team function.
  3. Choose the team function: Owner, Editor, or Guest.
  4. Click Add.

Team members are listed alphabetically by last name.


Edit team members

To change an individual member's function, click the edit icon next to their name and select the new role.


Remove team members

Click the X next to a user's name to remove them from the team.

Important: Removing a user from a team doesn't automatically remove them from responsibilities on individual issues. As owner, review open issues and adjust responsibilities whenever you remove team members.
