Team management — quick start

This section is for team owners and team admins. Owners and admins have nearly the same powers; differences are called out inline.

Who can do what

RoleLevelCan
Owner9Everything an admin can, plus delete the team and transfer ownership. There is exactly one owner per team.
Admin8Manage members, configure tabs and widgets, connect and disconnect resources, write to the audit log.
Member1Read everything the team has access to, post messages, create and delete calendar events, comment, react.

When the docs say "team admin", read that as "owner or admin". When the docs say "owner only", admins can't do it.

In five minutes (as a new team owner)

You just created a team — or were promoted to admin of an existing one. Here's the path of least surprise:

  1. Invite the people who should be in the team. Either through TeamHub's Members widget on the team home or through Nextcloud Teams directly. Either works; both write to the same circle.
  2. Open the team home/apps/teamhub/{teamId} or click the team in the TeamHub sidebar.
  3. Configure the tab bar. Click the + at the end of the tab bar to add custom links, or drag tabs to reorder them. Each team has its own order.
  4. Connect resources. Manage team → Settings → Team apps shows everything currently connected and lets you connect more (Deck boards, calendars, Talk rooms, the team folder).
  5. Activate integrations. Open the Integrations tab in Manage team to enable any third-party app integrations your organisation has installed.

The two surfaces you'll spend time in

Team home (/apps/teamhub/{teamId}) — what everyone in the team sees. Messages, calendar, files, Deck, Talk, plus any custom tabs.

Manage team — opened from the Team info widget on the team home. Member management, resource configuration, settings, integrations, audit log. Admin-only sections are hidden when you don't have the rights.
