Teams allow for organized management of user groups.  A team consists of team members and team admins. Team admins can add and remove team members, and promote other members as team admins.

The instructions below are specific to managing teams via the Sigma Admin Portal. If your organization instead manages users and teams through an Identity Provider (IdP), please follow our instruction for managing users and teams with SCIM.

Understanding Teams and Workspaces

Teams and workspaces have a many-to-many relationship. A team can be granted different levels of access to different workspaces, and multiple teams can be granted different levels of access to a single workspace.

This flexibility allows the structure of workspaces to be organization-dependent. For example, an organization might have a workspace for each of its teams. In addition, it might also have workspaces for each quarter of the year, shared with the relevant teams.
