Managing teams

You can create a team that contains users, groups, or both. Different from groups, teams are collections of users (including users forming a group) with assigned roles and responsibilities. Teams have an interest in applications, and team members have different roles in different applications. The users forming a team can have access permissions for various applications. Users can also be assigned different roles for environments associated with these applications. Teams can have individual users as well as users forming a group (for example, Database Administrators, Developers) to allow access to particular applications or environments.

Note

Starting with BMC Release Process Management version 4.3.01.04, when you assign specific roles for the application environments to users or teams, you have the additional Not Visible role available. Users with the Not Visible role assigned to the environment receive environment-specific data only in the reports view and have no access to detailed information about the environment.

To create a team

Navigate to System > Teams and then click Create Team on the right side of your screen.
In the Team Name field, enter a team name.
In the Applications table, select the applications that you want to allocate to this team.

To add users of a group to the team, on the Add User to Team pane, select the Add users from groups option. Select the appropriate groups and then click to show your selection on the right.

To assign roles by application or environment to users in a team

After creating a team, you can assign applications and assign roles for environments to the users of that team.

Navigate to System > Teams and open one of the teams available on the list.
You can either change your selected applications or select additional applications from the Applications table.
To assign roles for environments associated with the selected applications, click Edit Roles for Team.
On the list of applications available, click (edit) next to the appropriate application.
A list of users, groups, environments assigned to those users and groups, and user roles appears.
(Optional) Change user roles as appropriate.
Click Update Team at the end of the page.
