Team Functions
Team workspaces centralise shared datasets, enforce permissions, and streamline collaboration. This page explains why teams matter, how to join or create one, and what each role can do.
Why use teams?
- Centralised management: Owners can oversee members, datasets, and review progress in one place.
- Permission control: Assign roles to ensure only authorised people can publish or remove assets.
- Efficient collaboration: Shared “Team Data” keeps everyone aligned on the latest versions.
Open My Team in the sidebar to view your workspace. If you are not yet part of a team, you will be prompted to create or join one.

Create or join a team
Create a team
- Click Create Team.
- Provide a name, description, and (optionally) contact details.
- Confirm to become the team owner.

Join a team
- Use Join Team to search for existing teams and view contact information.
- Reach out to the owner or administrator to request an invitation.
- Membership is invitation-only; self-enrolment is not supported.

Invitation workflow
- Send invitation: Owners or admins search for a username and send an invite.

- Receive notification: Invited users see a badge in the message centre; accepting joins them to the team.

- Collaborate: New members gain access to team datasets and can contribute through “My Data → Contribute to team”.

FAQ
- Why do contributed processes sometimes miss flow units?
Ensure the underlying flows (not just the processes) are also contributed or shared; otherwise unit definitions remain private. - Why didn’t my teammate receive an invitation?
Ask them to verify the message centre. If nothing appears, confirm the account ID and resend the invite. - Why can’t I edit datasets directly in Team Data?
Team Data is intentionally read-only to prevent conflicts. Copy the dataset to “My Data”, edit it there, and contribute the updated version back to the team.
