Create and manage teams

Teams are groups of users that you can assign to projects.

important

Teams have been deprecated and are being migrated to groups.

  • On September 30, 2024 the Account Owners team will be removed.

    The Account Owners and super admin are synced, so the removal of the Account Owners team will have no impact on existing permissions. Super admin have full access to organizations.

  • From November 4, 2024 you won’t be able to create new teams or update existing ones.

    To simplify the move, Aiven will also begin migrating your existing teams to groups.

  • On December 2, 2024 all teams will be migrated to groups and deleted.

    To make the transition to groups smoother, you can migrate your teams yourself.

important

You can't delete the Account Owners team. Deleting all other teams in your organization will disable the teams feature. You won't be able to create new teams or access your Account Owners team.

  1. In the organization, click Admin.

  2. On the Teams tab, click each team name to view it and make a note of:

    • which users are members of the team
    • which projects the team is assigned to
    • the permission level that is assigned for each project
    note

    Users on the Account Owners team are automatically made super admin with full access to manage the organization. You don't need to create a group for these users.

    If you create a group named Account Owners, users you add to that group won't automatically become super admin. Instead, you can make them super admin.

  3. Click Groups.

  4. Click Create group.

  5. Enter the name of one of the teams and assign the same users to this group. Do this for each team.

  6. Add each new group to the projects that the teams are assigned to with the same role.

  7. After confirming all users have the correct level of access to the projects, delete the teams.

    note

    You cannot delete the Account Owners team.
