# Teams

Teams allow you to organize members within your organization and control access to specific apps. By creating teams, you can ensure that members only have access to the apps they need to work with.

## How Teams Work

Teams are groups of members within an organization that can be assigned access to specific apps. Each team can have multiple members, and each member can belong to multiple teams. Apps can be assigned to multiple teams as well.

When a member is part of a team, they gain access to all apps assigned to that team. If a member is not part of any team, they will not have access to any apps in the organization (except for Owners and Admins).

## Creating Teams

To create a team in your organization:

1. Go to the **Teams** page in the [Capawesome Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/organizations/_/teams){:target="_blank"}.
2. Click on the **Create team** button.
3. Enter a name and optional description for the team.
4. Click **Create** to create the team.
5. After creation, you can add apps and members to the team by clicking on "Manage apps" and "Manage members" in the "Actions" menu of the team.

???+ warning "Team Assignments Required"

    As soon as the first team is created in an organization, all existing members (except Owners and Admins) will lose access to all apps until they are assigned to a team. Make sure to assign members to teams after creating the first team to restore their access.
