How to Add a Team

Creating a Team in OpenMetadata is easy. Decide on the teamType that you would like to add. Refer to the Team Structure in OpenMetadata to get a clear understanding of the various Team Types. 1. Click on Settings > Members > Teams. Further, navigate to the relevant BusinessUnit, Division, or Department where you would like to create a new team. Click on Add Team. 2. Enter the details like Name, Display Name, Email, Team Type, and Description and click on Save. The choice of the teamType is restricted by the type of the parent team selected. More information can be found in the Team Structure document. Enable the Public Team option to allow open access, permitting anyone to join the team, view data, and collaborate. 3. The new team has been created. You can further add Users or create another Team within it.

Team Actions

After you create a team, open it to use the team menu (the … button in the team header). The menu offers these actions:

• Export Team: Export the team. Available for teams that are not of type Group. It requires edit access on the team, except for the Organization team.
• Import Team: Import team data. It has the same availability as Export Team and also requires permission to create teams.
• Make private or Make public: Switch whether anyone can join the team. Not available for the Organization team.
• Restore Team: Restore a deleted team.
• Delete: Delete the team. Requires the Delete permission and is not available for the Organization team.

OpenMetadata hides the menu button when none of these actions are available to you.
