Concept: Teams Overview

Teams enable you to manage project and contract visibility for various roles across your organization. Team permissions persist in events when the event is linked to a project. Changing the
Stakeholder Sync Type
when customizing contract and project types doesn’t impact these permissions.
When you have no teams created in your tenant, stakeholders can only view contracts and projects they're stakeholders on. Sourcing managers and administrators can view and update everything except the contracts and projects that you add them to with
Read Only
permissions.
You can create these types of teams:
  • Full access
  • Read only

Full Access

Members of a full access team can edit the records available to the team. You can add these roles to a full access team:
  • Company Administrator
  • Department Administrator
  • Sourcing Manager
You can mark these users as
Read Only
on a specific record available to the team. If you don’t put these users on a team, they can only access projects and contracts that they're the owner of, or are a stakeholder on.

Read Only

Members of a read-only team can view the records available to the team. You can add these roles to a read-only team:
  • Company Administrator
  • Department Administrator
  • Sourcing Manager
  • Stakeholder
When you add administrators or sourcing managers to a read-only team, you can mark them as
Read/Write
on a specific record available to the team.
Read-only team permissions overwrite full access team permissions. When you add a sourcing manager or an administrator to a full access team and a read-only team, they can view everything but can only update contracts and projects that you add them to as a stakeholder with
Read/Write
permissions.
Stakeholders that aren’t on a team can only access projects and contracts that they're stakeholders on. Stakeholders with read and write access to specific projects or contracts retain their access regardless of assignment to read-only teams. You can also enable a read-only view of the supplier directory for your stakeholders.

Create Teams

You need administrator access to your
Settings
page to create a team. You can create a team by accessing
Teams
Full Access
or
Teams
Read Only
, and selecting
Create New Team
.
When you create a new team, Strategic Sourcing automatically sets the visibility for projects and contracts to
View All
. You can change this configuration by adding filters through
Manage Visibility
.

Assign Teams on User Creation

You can assign teams to users upon user creation by accessing
Settings
User List
.
If the new user is a stakeholder, you can only select read-only teams. Before a user completes registration, you can adjust their membership by selecting
Edit
next to their name in
Settings
User List
. Once a user completes registration, their information displays in the
Team
view.
