Teams and limits
Group workspace members into teams, set a credit spending limit for each team, and see where each team's credits went during the billing cycle.
A team is a named group of members inside a workspace, such as Marketing or Design. Use teams to set one spending limit for several people and to apply model and tool rules to a group. Teams are in Settings → Governance → Teams.
The Teams page needs Change workspace settings, unlike the other Governance pages. By default only admins hold it. See Roles and permissions.
Create a team
Press "Create team"
It's at the top right. The dialog has two tabs, "Details" and "Members".
Name the team
"Team name" is the only required field. You can also pick a "Team color" and add a "Description (optional)".
Set a spending limit (optional)
"Spending limit (optional)" is the most the team can spend in credits per billing cycle. Leave it empty for no limit; the team then only groups people.
Add people
On the "Members" tab, add people. Before you save, the dialog shows how many people will be added and removed.
To change a team later, open its menu and choose "Edit team".
The Teams page
- Four tiles across the top: Teams and In a team (which also shows how many members are unassigned), Credits used this cycle, and Near or over limit, the number of teams at 80% or more of their limit.
- Two tabs, "All teams" and "Unassigned", each with its own search. Each team row shows its members and its spending against its limit. Each unassigned person has an "Assign to team" button.
- A team's own page opens when you select it: its details, members, spending as a percentage of its limit, and the credit transactions of its members, one line each.
How team limits work
- A person is on one team at most. Assigning them to another team moves them.
- People on no team are full members and spend from the workspace balance.
- A personal spending limit replaces the team limit for that person; it doesn't add to it. The order is: personal limit, then team limit, then the workspace balance. See Credits and spending.
- A team limit doesn't reserve credits. If the workspace balance runs out, the team's members are stopped even while under the team limit.
- Someone stopped by the team limit sees "This team reached its spending limit. Your workspace still has credits." The fix is to raise the team's limit, not to add credits.
- "Delete team" in a team's menu permanently deletes the team and its limit. Its members stay in the workspace with all their work, and the next limit in the order applies to them.
Who can manage teams
Creating, renaming and deleting a team, and setting its limit, need Change workspace settings. Moving people between teams needs Invite and remove members, and can also be done from the Team column in Settings → Members or on a person's profile, without access to the Teams page. By default only admins hold both permissions.
Teams as a governance scope
The Models and Tools pages can apply rules to a whole team, for example a smaller model catalog for contractors. See Model availability and Tool availability.
