Team Management

Overview Back to top

A team is a named group of Jira users. A person can belong to several teams. Teams are used to:

• Filter Timesheets and the approval list to one group.
• Filter the team calendar under Leave. Teammates see each other's leave there.
• Scope and group reports by team.
• Assign a capacity scheme or holiday calendar to many people at once.

Only App Admins can create, edit and delete teams.

Edit or Delete a Team Back to top

The Teams tab lists every team with its members.

• Edit — rename the team or add and remove members.
• Delete — removes the team only. People's worklogs, timesheets and leave are not affected.

Give a Team an Approver Back to top

A team gives no approval rights by itself. To let someone approve leave and timesheets for a team's members, make them its Team Manager in Settings › Permissions › Team Managers. See Who approves.
