Predefined Team types

Team Edition includes all-users predefined Team type. This Team includes all users by default.

Integration with Identity Providers

You have the ability to integrate Teams with various identity providers. This integration allows for the utilization of roles and groups defined by your identity provider to manage Team memberships automatically.

Configuration steps

1. When creating or editing a Team, navigate to the Parameters section.
2. Here, depending on your identity provider, you can associate the Team with a specific identity attribute:

Provider	Attribute	Related articles
AWS	AWS Role ARN	AWS OpenID, AWS OpenID via Okta
SAML	SAML Group ID	SAML configuration
Microsoft Entra ID	Microsoft Entra ID Group ID	Microsoft Entra ID
Okta OpenID	OKTA Group ID	Okta OpenID

Automatic membership management

Once the integration is set up, whenever a user authenticated by the configured identity provider logs into Team Edition, the application will check for matching identity attributes. If there is a match with any of the defined parameters within Teams, the user will be automatically assigned to the appropriate Team.

Updating Team memberships

For the changes to take effect, especially in cases where group memberships are updated:

• Users may need to log off and log back in through the Single Sign-On (SSO).
• Alternatively, changes will take effect after the session timeout.

These actions ensure that the updated claims from the identity provider are received by Team Edition, thereby refreshing the Team memberships.

In the Users tab, administrators can manage Team memberships:

• To add a user to the Team, click Edit, select the desired users, and then click Add.
